Battery energy storage containers on screw pile foundations
Application 02

Battery energy storage

Battery storage containers are heavy, and that weight sits on just a few corner points. We put a pile under each corner, level it with an adjustable top, and join the piles with a steel frame so the container sits flat — no concrete slab needed.

Pile types used
