When it comes to sustainable foundations, screw piles aren’t just the environmentally friendly option — they’re also fast, clean, and structurally robust. For project managers balancing compliance, carbon reduction, and delivery timelines, screw piles offer a compelling all-round solution.
Environmental Wins Without the Greenwashing
Lower CO2 Footprint
Concrete bored piers emit 33–55 tonnes of CO2 per project. Screw piles? Just 11–18 tonnes. That’s up to 37 tonnes of emissions saved per job — without compromising structural performance.
Less Disturbance, Less Risk
With minimal excavation, reduced soil disruption, and lower emissions during install, screw piles are perfect for projects with tight environmental constraints or sensitive sites.
Sustainable Steel Use
The steel used in screw piles is recyclable and used more efficiently than traditional concrete systems — further enhancing your project’s sustainability profile.
Faster Install, Fewer Delays
Screw piles are load-bearing immediately after installation — no curing time, no hold-ups. That means:
- Shorter build schedules
- Lower machinery runtime = lower emissions
- Less pressure on surrounding structures or infrastructure
Practical for the Real World
IFS installs screw piles across all types of projects — from remote infrastructure to urban infill builds. Our systems are engineered for strength and installed for speed.
