The load or weight that a pile can support depends on the density of the soil. The denser the soil, the higher the pile’s load-bearing capacity.
For very loose soil, we will either use piles with bigger or multiple blades to achieve the necessary torque or add extensions to the pile so that it can be drilled deeper to reach denser soil. Your Postech dealer can determine which option is best for your project.
While installing the last few inches of the screw pile, your Postech installer uses a pressure gauge on the excavator’s arm and a guide chart to confirm the hydraulic pressure and the pile’s load-bearing capacity.
