Traditionally in New Zealand, council services have been bridged onsite using bored concrete piles. This method can often lead to delays due to material delivery issues and unexpected cost overruns.
Blade Pile screw pile foundations offer a smarter alternative for bridging services. Manufactured offsite and quick to install, they save both time and money on your building projects. Installation causes minimal disruption since no soil is removed from the site. Additionally, for sites prone to liquefaction, Blade Piles perform reliably regardless of high groundwater tables and are not affected by weather conditions during installation.
A major advantage of Blade Piles is that they are installed exclusively by certified installers. On sites with variable bearing layers, extensions can be easily added to individual piles to ensure each reaches the required ULS KN load capacity.
In contrast, with concrete piles, such load capacity issues may only become apparent after council inspection, often causing costly construction delays.
Because Blade Piles are structurally engineered with a PS1 design, council inspection is not required, allowing installation to be confidently planned weeks in advance.
