Sustainability

While we all race to buy electric cars in a bid to cut emissions, concrete consumption is at an all-time high worldwide. In fact, if the cement industry were a country, it would be the third largest carbon dioxide emitter in the world at 2.8bn tonnes surpassed only by China and the US. While it is important to the construction industry, cement is a non-renewable resource, and it isn't recyclable. Most concrete waste ends up in landfills. It will always have a place in your builds, but we believe we should consider limiting its use to applications that cannot be replaced by more sustainable products made from timber or steel.

Our piles are fabricated in Australia from steel that is also rolled right here in Australia. Of all the materials used in construction, steel is amongst the most environmentally friendly. It has a lower embodied carbon impact than concrete and generates less waste. The piles can be unscrewed at the end of the buildings life and the steel can be recycled limitlessly.

Transporting and placing steel screw in piles is significantly more cost and energy efficient than concrete piers. For a start, heavy cement trucks come off the road. As our system produces no spoil to remove, you don't need to pay for skid steers to scoop up the dirt from the pier holes or tippers and bogeys to transport it to landfills. There’s no concrete to pump so there's more dollars back in your pocket and another large truck off the road further reducing emissions, congestion, and road maintenance.than concrete and generates less waste. The piles can be unscrewed at the end of the buildings life and the steel can be recycled limitlessly.
