Engineering design of screw pile foundations considering site geology, design loads, and project requirements. We select the type, diameter, and depth of geoscrews, ensuring precise foundation field geometry and reliable foundation performance.
In-house production of geoscrews with quality control at every stage—from steel selection to anti-corrosion protection. The products meet design loads, durability requirements, and performance standards for foundation systems.
Professional installation of geoscrews with adherence to design geometry and torque control. Foundations are installed without concrete work or excessive excavation, reducing project timelines and optimizing costs.

SCREW FOUNDATION FOR WIND TURBINES

Wind turbines

Tall energy structures subjected to significant vertical, horizontal, and dynamic loads from wind, rotor rotation, and generator operation. The foundation must ensure stability, precise positioning, and deformation control throughout the entire service life of the installation.

Piles for Wind Turbines

Screw piles are driven to load-bearing soil layers, ensuring the transfer of loads from the tower, generator, and rotor system to stable soil horizons. The absence of concrete work minimizes the risks of uneven settlement and reduces construction time.

Engineering approach

The foundation for a wind turbine is individually engineered taking into account the tower height, equipment mass, wind and cyclic loads, as well as the actual soil conditions of the site.

Structural solution

The screw foundation allows for the integration of piles with the wind turbine support structure and enables installation without waiting for concrete to cure.

ADVANTAGES OF SCREW PILE FOUNDATIONS FOR WIND TURBINES

The screw pile foundation is an engineering-based solution for wind energy projects due to its rapid installation, stable geometry, and ability to perform under dynamic loads.
Foundation work is completed within tight deadlines, allowing wind turbines to be commissioned quickly.
Piles are designed considering cyclic loads from rotor operation and variable wind effects.
Screw piles ensure reliable load transfer from the tower and generator equipment.
The ability to install without heavy machinery enables wind turbine placement in remote and challenging landscape conditions.
Screw piles are independent of temperature conditions, which is important for the continuous implementation of energy projects.

Installation steps
Geology and building design

For proper foundation design, geotechnical engineering surveys and structural design analysis are performed. This allows for determining the design loads, soil behavior conditions, the depth of load-bearing soil layers, and the geometric requirements of the foundation system.

STRUCTURE-SPECIFIC FOUNDATION ADAPTATION

Based on the obtained data, PILLAR engineers calculate the number of supports, their spacing, and the installation depth. The parameters of the geoscrews are selected considering the loads, structure type, and required geometric stability of the foundation.

INSTALLATION AND CONSTRUCTION READINESS

Screw piles are installed with control of vertical alignment, torque, and foundation field geometry. Upon completion, the foundation is immediately ready for further structure erection—with no technological downtime or waiting for shrinkage.
