A Helical / Screw Pile Foundation for Cellphone Towers
Infrastructure that stands the test of time!
The traditional method of installing cellphone towers on concrete piles has become obsolete. The industry is now opting for galvanized steel helical (screw) piles, as a simpler and more efficient anchoring solution for cellphone tower footings. Able to withstand the freeze/thaw cycle and provide rock-solid stability, GoliathTech helical (screw) piles can accommodate large vertical loads as they are screwed deep into the ground until they reach a stable soil level.
A rapid and damage-free installation
Our quick installation process, carried out with light and compact equipment, allows you to avoid excavation and begin building as soon as the installation of the helical (screw) piles is complete. In addition, we can install them in almost all types of soils and spaces, even restricted ones that would normally be hard to reach. With the help of our certified installers, GoliathTech’s screw piles will support the foundation of your cellphone tower for many years to come.
Finally, don't forget that screw pile foundations are much more economical than traditional concrete foundations. This is another advantage that can’t be overlooked!

Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions
Why should I use helical (screw) piles for cellphone towers over other foundation systems?
When embedded into concrete, many piles can be used together as a system. Half the piles can be under compression and the other half can be under tension. In order to combat the huge turn-over forces of a cellphone tower, you typically need an enormous concrete pad. However, the concrete has no actual "grip" on the ground. Unlike the helical (screw) pile, concrete relies only on its weight to anchor a structure. Also, piles have the added advantage of being able to use smaller installation equipment which causes less damage to surrounding landscape and structures.
What are the advantages of using helical (screw) piles vs concrete for cellphone towers?
- Innovative and durable foundation system
- Has better grip and is more reliable than a concrete pad
- Can hold enormous tension or pull out capacities
