Reliable Ground Support for Complex Environments

Soil screws are continuously threaded steel elements installed into the ground to provide reinforcement for excavations, slopes, retaining walls, and other earth-retaining systems. Acting as passive structural elements, they stabilize soil by transferring loads into deeper, more competent layers. This method delivers reliable, long-term stability without the need for large-scale excavation or heavy equipment.

Intech Anchoring Systems supplies soil screws engineered for strength, precision, and efficiency. Our systems are manufactured from high-strength steel with corrosion-resistant coatings, designed to perform in a variety of soil conditions including clay, sand, and weathered rock. Because installation involves minimal vibration and displacement, soil screws are ideal for projects near existing structures, utilities, or sensitive environments.

From pre-construction planning through final testing, Intech Anchoring Systems supports every step of the process to ensure your project’s success.

Benefits of Soil Screws

Soil screws provide numerous advantages over traditional shoring or tieback systems. Their ease of installation and reliable performance make them a preferred choice for contractors seeking efficient and cost-effective ground stabilization.

Key benefits include:

• Fast installation: Soil screws can be installed quickly using compact equipment, reducing project timelines.
• Low vibration and noise: Ideal for urban, residential, or environmentally sensitive sites.
• Versatility: Suitable for both temporary and permanent earth retention systems.
• Predictable performance: Torque-to-capacity correlation allows accurate load verification during installation.
• Minimal site disturbance: Requires no casing or grouting, reducing cleanup and environmental impact.
• Cost efficiency: Reduces labor, material, and mobilization costs compared to drilled or grouted anchors.

With Intech Anchoring Systems, you gain access to reliable soil stabilization solutions engineered for strength and precision in any environment.

The Soil Screw Installation Process

The installation of soil screws is straightforward yet highly controlled to ensure accuracy and performance. Intech Anchoring Systems partners with engineers and contractors to provide comprehensive guidance and technical support throughout the process.

1. Project assessment: Our team reviews soil reports, design loads, and site constraints to determine optimal screw type and layout.
2. Installation: Soil screws are advanced into the ground using rotary drilling equipment until the target torque is achieved, ensuring proper load-bearing capacity.
3. Verification: Torque readings are continuously monitored and recorded to verify design compliance.
4. Connection and finishing: Soil screws are fitted with face plates, nuts, or shotcrete reinforcement, depending on the project’s structural design.
5. Inspection: Final inspections confirm alignment, capacity, and corrosion protection for long-term performance.

This controlled process ensures every soil screw installation meets engineering standards and project specifications.

FAQs About Soil Screws

What is the difference between a soil screw and a soil nail?

While both systems reinforce soil, soil screws are installed by torqueing a threaded steel element into the ground, whereas soil nails are typically driven or grouted. Soil screws offer faster installation and immediate load-bearing capability.

How deep can soil screws be installed?

Installation depth depends on soil conditions and design requirements but typically ranges from 10 to 50 feet. Deeper installations are possible for projects requiring additional stability.

Are soil screws reusable?

Yes. For temporary shoring or excavation support, soil screws can often be removed and reused on future projects, depending on design and condition.

Can soil screws be used in rock or dense soils?

Yes. With appropriate pilot holes and equipment, soil screws perform effectively in dense, granular, or weathered rock formations.

How do soil screws compare to traditional tieback anchors?

Soil screws require less equipment, produce minimal vibration, and offer a faster, cleaner installation process. They are also more adaptable to confined or low-access job sites.
