Transmission tower structures under construction on screw pile foundations
Application 06

Light poles, electric poles & transmission towers

Streetlights, electric poles and transmission towers are tall and thin, so the biggest risk is wind or cable pull pushing them over — not just their weight. Our proprietary screw piles can withstand heavy lateral loads. Screw piles are the perfect solution for high volume, heavy infrastructure products.

Pile types used

Single-helix pile, base plate · Double-helix pile, high-moment · Multi-leg tower footing pile
