About Screw Piling

Here at Russell Heale we design, manufacture, supply, install and certify screw piles.

These can be for a diverse range of building and construction projects, all the way to 100 tonne load bearing installations.

What is Screw Piling

Steel Screw Piling is necessary for building foundations where the ground is not compacted, or strong enough or of variable capacity to carry the structure, for example in sand, mud or reclaimed land.

Steel screw piling is a deep foundation support system that transfers the weight of a building onto the stronger founding layer below. We can use screw piles for loads up to 100 tonnes and the length of the screw piles can exceed 20 metres.

To install them, we use an excavator with a power head and drive system designed by Russell Heale.

Steel Screw Piles offer significant advantages over other piling types. If your job specifies concrete or timber piles, we can quote the steel screw pile equivalent.

Direct from the Manufacturer

We manufacture the piles to suit each individual job at our Gold Coast factory. They can then be galvanised if required. See our technical specs & design page for more information.

Our base stretches north to Cairns and as far south as Melbourne.

Soil Tests & Deep Foundations

Don't waste your money on foundations that could potentially fail. Find out what is beneath your deep foundations and be sure that they will support your building. For more information click here.

Our principal Operator for pool installations, Grant Massey, has been a highly experienced Excavator Operator for over 22 years in the housing, pool building and construction industry. Read more here.

Limited Access & Barges

Grant Massey in conjunction with Russell Heale have completed numerous steel screw piling jobs using limited access machines as well as barges to deliver equipment.

Latest Project
Colaboration Project - Sep 08:
Crane Base (Caboolture)

With a combined effort between Russell Heale, Q-Pile Foundations, Rymark Engineers and on-site assistance from the project team's welders and concreters; design and installation of pads and screw piers, for this project was achieved within a remarkable 6 days. For more details please click here.

Steel Screw Piles have many other applications such as for shade structures or swimming pools, and can be for temporary or permanent structures. Some examples:

Commercial (shopping centres, schools, airport buildings, surf clubs, factories etc)
Residential (houses, apartments etc)
Swimming Pools

These are but a few, for further examples please check out our Applications page.
