Screw Pile
Foundations
for Fabric Covered Buildings
Helical anchoring systems or screw piles can be less
expensive than traditional foundations, and for many
projects, they are an excellent option. They are 100%
temporary.
Helical anchors drill directly into the ground, eliminating
the need for poured concrete, posts, blocks or piers. This
feature reduces the amount of excavation and site work.
It can be advantageous in providing a cost-effective
project utilizing fabric buildings.
These anchors make the fabric building easy to relocate, but
also provide the strength and dependability of a permanent
foundation. They can be left in the ground as long as
needed. Helical anchors can usually be relocated with fabric
buildings. And as an environmentally friendly
option, they can be removed without disturbing or harming
the surrounding environment and moved along with fabric
buildings.
The
Helical Anchoring Systems are a great option for
agricultural or commercial installations. Helical anchors
are driven into the soil at each truss footing using
hydraulic equipment capable of measuring the KPI resistance. Sizes of the
piles will be determined by the size of the fabric building and soil conditions.
Helical anchors require some
hydraulic equipment but can be installed with minimal manpower at a reasonable
cost. This foundation is suitable for medium to large fabric structures.
DUCKBILL® anchors essentially work like a toggle bolt in soil. The duckbills are
driven into the ground providing a safe and environmentally sensitive
installation. An upward pull on the anchor tendon rotates the duckbill into a
perpendicular “anchor lock” position. Typically used as temporary foundations,
duckbill anchor systems offer effective, lightweight and economical anchoring
solutions. Duckbill anchor foundations can be installed with minimal resources
and manpower with a low overall cost. This foundation is suitable for smaller
fabric structures.
