The screw pile foundation system is known for its ease and speed of installation. Installation generally requires no removal of soil, so there are no spoils to dispose of. Installation causes a displacement of soils for the most part. However, in the case of a foundation with a pipe shaft, some soil will enter the interior of the pipe until it becomes plugged. Installation equipment can be mounted on vehicles when required. The installation of a screw pile foundation is for practical purposes vibration free. These features make the screw pile foundation attractive on sites that are environmentally sensitive.
