Applications

Why Ground Screws?

Simple, Cost Effective Installation Process

Ground screws can be shipped to site, installed, and be ready for load bearing all on the same day. Unlike concrete, they do not require specific weather conditions, multiple people, resting periods, and heavy machinery to install.

Low Impact, Environmentally Conscious

Ground screws do not require heavy amounts of soil removal, meaning they leave the ecosystem undisturbed and the soil retains its ability to soak in rainwater. In addition, they can be easily removed and reused or recycled.

Strong Foundations, Anywhere

Whether it is on a mountain in the Appalachians or flat land, ground screws can be installed in a variety of locations. From serving as the foundation for your new decking or your new house in the Catskills, ground screws are available in a number of sizes, with load bearings up to 15 tons.

Solar Projects

Every year, Reliance Piles manufactures and ships thousands of ground screws, helical piles, and H beams to project sites across the United States and Canada for the installation of solar panel frames. From Maine to Arizona or the Pacific Northwest, these screws are highly suitable for the variety of landscapes and need for quick, reliable foundations that solar panel installations require.

Infrastructure Projects

Piling foundations are ideal for infrastructure projects ranging from power transmission lines, pipelines, lighting, and more. They can be easily deployed and installed along highways or in undeveloped terrain where bringing in the machinery and personnel for concrete is expensive and complex.

Fencing and Posts

Ground screws can help save significant costs, complications, and time when installing fencing and other post structures in comparison to concrete. Depending on their size, these screws can be installed by hand or with simple, easy to transport drivers. Everything from backyard decking to greenhouses can use ground screw foundations.

EV Charging Stations

The electric vehicle revolution is upon us, with car manufacturers from new and old building and manufacturing hundreds of thousands of electric vehicles. Unlike gas stations, EV charging stations are more decentralized, and require small size installations in a large variety of locations. They are the perfect companion for ground screws.
