Solar carport structure founded on large-diameter screw piles
Application 04

Industrial structures, carports & EV charging

Screw piles carry heavy moment induced structures including solar carports, EV charging bays and industrial buildings. Design starts with the geotechnical report or a verification pile, and the pile is then sized to the governing case. Shaft diameter, wall thickness and helix configuration are set per site rather than taken from a catalogue standard. BigScrew designs, manufactures and installs, which keeps engineering, production and site work under one accountable party
