Trust your project to us and receive engineering support at all stages of implementation.

Engineering design of ground screw foundations considering site geology, structural loads, and project requirements. We calculate the type, diameter, and depth of ground screws, ensuring precise geometry and reliable performance of the foundation base.
In-house production of ground screws with quality control at every stage—from steel selection to anti-corrosion protection. Products comply with design loads, durability requirements, and international operational standards.
Professional installation of ground screws with adherence to design geometry and controlled rotational torque. Foundations are installed without concreting or unnecessary earthworks, reducing implementation timelines and lowering costs.

Technical features of a ground screw

PILLAR ground screw is a new-generation screw pile made in the form of a steel pipe with specially designed blades. This engineering shape ensures easy and precise screwing into the ground without pre-drilling.

Types of Pile Heads (Connectors)
PILLAR manufactures two types of ground screws
With flange and without flange, which allows them to be used for connection with foundation elements of various shapes and materials.
Used for ground-based structures of solar power plants, with the possibility of universal connection to any type of grillage.

General Applications (for all diameters)
Specifics by Ground Screw Diameters
Diameter
Primarily for lightweight structures
Fences, lamp posts, stairs, domestic and industrial solar power plants.
Diameter
For single-story construction
SIP panels, frame houses (wooden and metal frames), electric generators. Also for piers, fences, enclosures, playgrounds, gazebos, and terraces.
Diameter
For more massive objects
Hangars, production workshops, warehouses, communication masts, and electric generators. Also used in two-story construction of
SIP-panel and frame houses, piers, wharves, playgrounds, and industrial solar power plants.
Diameter
For large engineering structures and industrial facilities.
Hangars, workshops, warehouses, power line supports (transmission towers), elevators, and bridges.
Also for the construction of communication towers, aerated concrete houses, wharves, carports, SIP-panel, and frame houses (wooden and metal frames).

Advantages of the HM-Series
PILLAR HM-SERIES ground screws are designed for objects requiring maximum reliability, high load-bearing capacity, and resistance to dynamic and wind loads. They are used in conditions of increased horizontal forces, where standard solutions do not provide the necessary stability.
Reliably perform in sandy, marshy, and low-bearing capacity soils where traditional concrete foundations are ineffective.
Flange connections allow for the use of either bolted or welded attachments—depending on the engineering design.
Hot-dip galvanizing provides long-term protection against corrosion and other negative environmental impacts.
An ideal solution for objects subject to wind, seismic, and dynamic loads: solar trackers, power lines, and wind turbines.
Reflects increased steel thickness, providing rigidity and stability for high-load objects.
Piles are ready for loading immediately after installation—without concreting or curing time. Installation is possible within a single day.
20 mm thick flanges with stiffeners (gussets), along with a forged tip, ensure foundation durability under significant loads.
A threading length of up to 4000 mm and a pile diameter of 168 mm ensure effective penetration and anchoring even in weak, peaty, and water-saturated soils.
Wind power plants, SES (fixed and tracker systems), power transmission lines, industrial facilities, tourism infrastructure, hangar structures, parking lots, and carports.
