Understanding the Industrial Manufacturing Sector

Screw piles are a type of foundation solution used in various projects including the construction industry. The piles are made from hollow steel with a helix (or more) wielded at the shaft so that installation is simplified. Most people prefer using screw piles when providing a foundation for their projects because they are durable, safe to use and cost-effective. However, when you want to use screw piles for your project, you need to ascertain that you have a professional behind the installation process. When the screw piles are not installed properly, they will not be able to support your structure. It is therefore imperative that you hire qualified personnel to do the installation of the screw piles for you. Below are some of the things that you need to ask or look for in a contractor when hiring their services.

Are they experienced?

Screw piling projects will be different in various forms. For instance, they may vary regarding the nature of the soil in which they are being installed or even in size. Therefore, depending on your project, you need to make sure that the contractor you are going to hire has worked on a project that is similar to yours. When you hire a contractor that has little or no experience when it comes to projects similar to yours, you risk having a shoddy work done.

Do they offer a warranty?

Sometimes, even when due diligence is observed, some problems may arise when the foundation is being laid. In such instances, you do not want to be left with a poorly done job, with the potential of having to hire new contractors and meeting the costs all over again. For this reason, ensure your contractor guarantees their work with a warranty. This will ensure that if your foundation does not meet the required industry standards, your contractor will redo the work without forcing you to meet additional costs.

Do they have successful stories?

A reliable contractor will have projects that they have done before, in an excellent manner. They will either prove this through their portfolio or by referring you to customers that they have done screw piling installation before. If the contractor you have selected cannot refer you to any project that they successfully installed the screw piles, then they cannot be relied upon. You do not wish to have your project serve as an experimental project.

Where do they get their piles?

When you have the right people but the wrong tools, you cannot have an excellent job done. For this reason, you need to inquire about where they get their screw piles from. You need to make sure that their supplier has a reputation for providing quality and durable piles.
