In order to avoid further deformations and the destruction of the future structure, it is possible to initially not be mistaken in the choice of the appropriate design of the foundation, depending on the peculiarities of the soil and on the level of groundwater, for example construction At home you need to start with the definition of how its foundation will be.
Screw piles are a design that has found its use when installing small, single-storey buildings, Including cottages, baths, piers, as well as as a support for fences. This type of construction is a rather durable and inexpensive view of the foundation.
Material manufacturing screw piles is steel. In general, piles are pipes that have a pointed tip. The presence of a screw-like steel blade at the bottom of the pipe allows you to screw the pile into the ground. The internal space of the installed pile is poured by concrete. Metal itself is subjected to factory processing with a protective coating that excludes corrosion. From above on the pile, the ledge is put on which the buildings of the building is mounted.
There is a mechanical and manual mounting options for piles. The choice of the option is taken into account the diameter of the pile and the nature of the area. The mechanical method of installing piles is resorted to the construction of industrial buildings, such as hangars, where the piles of large sizes and diameter are used. There is a manual method of mounting piles. As the practice has shown, manual installation is much better than mechanical. It allows you to more accurately set the pile to the level. In addition, manual installation does not require the use of additional equipment, especially if the terrain does not allow this.
Another advantage of this type of foundation is the minimum construction time. Installation does not require the preparation of the area in terms of leveling the landscape, which provides for the start of work on the area consisting of a height difference. After installing the foundation, you can immediately begin work on the construction of the building.
By selecting screw piles as a foundation for the construction, it is necessary to study the ground state and the depth of the soil freezing, make calculations of the weight data of the future structure and the possibility of upcoming loads. Based on these data, the diameter and the length of the pile are calculated, as well as the required number of units.
Perhaps the only place where the screw piles cannot be installed are rocks.
This design has a high bearing capacity, given the simplicity of installation, the cost-effectiveness of the process.
