Blade Pile NZ provides engineered screw pile foundation systems developed for New Zealand’s complex and variable ground conditions, with PS1 designs now being carried out by over 150 engineering firms across the country. The patented twin-blade design increases bearing capacity and improves load transfer compared to conventional screw piles, offering a low-vibration, low-disturbance alternative to bored or driven systems.
Blade Piles perform particularly well in liquefaction-prone soils, soft or uncontrolled fill, expansive clays, high groundwater conditions, contaminated ground, and sites requiring bridging of services or with constrained access. Blade Pile NZ works alongside engineers, providing practical guidance and technical support to deliver efficient, site-specific outcomes.
Peter Fowler, director of Blade Pile NZ, will discuss the place of Blade Pile systems in New Zealand, bringing a practical, construction-focused perspective to the design and installation of Blade Piles as a valuable tool in the overall foundation design toolbox.
