Supply and Installation

SCREW PILE SYSTEMS

We go the extra mile when estimating, supplying and installing your screw piles so that you have peace of mind your foundation is constructed on-time and certified to Engineering specifications. 

After 26,000 jobs and 1.5 million screw pile installations, we have established a reputation as Australia’s most reliable screw pile supplier for our transparency, performance, and technical expertise.

Our name comes from the Japanese Samurai sword. Like a ‘Katana’, our curved twin-fin blade ‘slices’ through underlying strata leaving no spoil to remove. And our patented threaded square pile head eliminates hot works on site and supports slab on ground and raised floor systems.

We look forward to working with you.

What are Screw Piles?

Screw Piles are a far more efficient foundation system than concrete. Installation is environmentally responsible, quicker, vibrationless and suitable for all geotechnical conditions. Our Twin-Fin screw pile is manufactured in Australia using Australian made 400+ high grade tensile steel.

Our Expertise

Our knowledge of civil engineering, building codes of practice, and soil conditions means we can provide you with a cost effective foundation solution. From site mark-up to installation, testing, and certification, we make screw piles easy.
