    Atlas screw pile

    The Atlas pile is a vibration-free, cast-in-place concrete pile with double lateral soil displacement. The Atlas screw pile features virtual absence of any significant spoil and no decompression of soil around the auger tip. The lateral soil displacement and compaction effects as well as the particular helical screw shape of the concreted pile contribute to its high bearing resistance and stiff settlement behavior.

    Construction sequence

    Fields of application

    • Optimal geotechnical behaviour and excellent bearing performance resulting in economical solution

    • High bearing capacity thanks to the double lateral displacement of soil (during screwing-in and screwing-out phases)

    • In urban environment, housing and industrial projects

    • Limited transportation impact and reduced attendance cost

    • Easy and quick installation

    • Suitable for virtually all soil profiles and very suitable for tertiary clays

    Environmental impact

    • No vibration induced because the pile is formed by transmitting a combined rotation- and translation movement on the casing: important in case of vibration sensitive areas

    • In noise-sensitive environment: noise production at 7 m from the machine <85 dBA (low noise level)

    • Negligible extraction of (contaminated) soil – Limited or no spoil created after the completion of the piles resulting in cleaner surrounding 

    • Stable, dry and flat work platform is required
