Inner-city construction comes with a long list of constraints — noise, access, neighbours, underground services. That’s why project managers across Newcastle and NSW are turning to screw piles for urban foundations.
Less Noise. Less Vibration. Less Disruption.
Unlike driven piles or concrete piers, screw piles are quiet and vibration-free. This means:
- Less risk to nearby structures or basements
- Fewer community complaints
- Greater compliance with council and EPA guidelines
Designed for Confined Spaces
Screw piles require:
- Minimal site access (compact rigs)
- No concrete trucks or pump setups
- No soil cart-away
Ideal for laneways, basements, schools, hospitals, and any site with zero room for error.
Installed Fast. Ready Immediately.
Screw piles are ready to carry load the moment they’re installed. No curing, no wet works, no scheduling nightmares.
Need an engineered, low-impact solution for your next inner-city site? Call IFS — we build smarter foundations, faster.
