At Paalupiste, screw pile design is always based on your actual site conditions and project requirements. We focus on soil conditions, structural loads, corrosion environment, and buildability to ensure the foundation works as intended from installation through its full service life. Our design work follows Eurocodes and applicable national standards, combined with practical experience gained from thousands of installed screw piles in different ground conditions.

Site-Specific and Practical by Design

Every site is different. That is why our design process starts with understanding your ground conditions and load demands. When needed, this can include site-specific soil investigation and test piling to reduce uncertainty and avoid overdesign.

We design screw pile foundations to suit the project, not the other way around. Installation aspects are always considered early in the design phase, including access limitations, available equipment, installation tolerances, and working conditions on site.

Optimised, Not Overdesigned

A good foundation is not about using more material than necessary. It is about using the right solution. By combining Eurocode-based calculations with real installation data and field experience, we help achieve foundations that meet safety requirements while remaining cost-efficient.

Corrosion protection and service life are assessed based on the actual soil and environmental conditions.

Support for Engineers and Design Offices

Screw piles are still new to many projects. We actively support engineers and design offices who want to use screw piles with confidence. Our team provides design support, practical guidance, and technical input when questions arise during planning or execution.

We also offer training for design offices, helping teams understand screw pile behaviour, design principles, and typical installation considerations.

Clear Outcome for Your Project

Whether you are designing a small structure or a large industrial or infrastructure project, our goal is the same: foundations that are reliable, buildable, and delivered without unnecessary complexity.

With Paalupiste, screw pile design is not just calculations on paper. It is a practical foundation solution that works on site and supports the success of your project.
