Screw Pile Demonstration

GCS Screw Pile Demonstration held on Wednesday 28th September 2011 at Marion College, 126 North Parade, Shirley, Christchurch between 7:15am – 8:00am.

Over 120 engineers, geotechnical experts and managers helping to rebuild Christchurch came to witness a successful Screw Pile installation that highlighted the importance of good design around a robust geotechnical report. Both predicted depth and torque were achieved on a site that had undergone significant liquefaction.

Special thanks to the Catholic Education Office for allowing site access, OPUS International Consultants Ltd for providing supporting geotechnical data, Kevin O’Connor & Associates Ltd for providing a sample foundation design and Maugers Contracting Ltd (Locally approved Installer of the geoLOGIC screw piling solution) for providing installation rig on the day,
