Screw piles into the bearing layer
Also for a 44-tonne 20 ft container, in tension and compression.
Battery storage foundation
Battery storage (BESS) on screw piles
Battery parks need to be built fast and often sit on soft or made ground. Instead of a concrete slab on hardcore, screw piles carry a steel frame to which the containers are fixed directly.
Why no concrete?
- No concrete slab and hardly any earthworks: set out, check utilities and install
- Up to about 50 piles per day per crew: the schedule stays under control
- Pile heads aligned to 1–2 mm for a level container frame
- Design based on CPTs, capacity measured per pile
- Removable and reusable at end of life, 60–80% less CO₂
Which foundation?
Steel frame
Welded on site or fixed with clamp connections. Levelling plates on the pile heads give the alignment.
Design by the manufacturer
Based on CPTs, our manufacturer Paalupiste works out a foundation proposal, with your engineer.

Frequently asked questions
Can a 44-tonne container go on screw piles?
Yes. Based on CPTs, the manufacturer proposes piles into the bearing layer and a steel frame.
How level will the container stand?
With levelling plates on the pile heads we align to within 1 to 2 mm.
How fast is it?
Up to about 50 piles per day per crew.
