Typical construction tools like a track excavator or a mini-excavator fitted with an adequately sized low-speed high torque hydraulic motor are used to install screw anchors and anchor shackles. It is not that necessary to move specialized machinery like the crane with a pile hammer or a big drilled shaft rig. As a result, contractors may mobilize swiftly and affordably and respond by arriving on location right away. Usually, only one laborer and one operator are required. Utilizing installation equipment that is relatively compact, large load capacities can be achieved.

Installation rates are normally in the range of 6 to 10 rpm, meaning that a screw-pile or helical anchor can be advanced in less than 30 seconds or 5 minutes for every 10 feet of length. The crew can attach a pipe or square-shaft extension, which must be depended on the extension piece that is being utilized, in approximately a minute, so a 40-foot installation should only take 40 to 50 minutes. Weather is not a factor in the installation; most installations go through even under unfavorable conditions.

Ability to carry a load immediately

In contrast to the majority of conventional foundation or anchoring methods, screw piles and helical anchors have the distinct advantage of being able to be loaded right away after installation. There is no need to wait for the grout, concrete, or driven piles to solidify or for the extra pore water pressures to subside. When working on some projects, such as emergency response, where the installation of the foundations or anchors is crucial and the remainder of the project's progress is dependent on it, this can be crucial.

The ultimate capacity of screw-piles as well as the helical anchors will often rise over time due to thixotropy and aging effects in most soil situations. This means that the capacity just after installation can actually be a little lower than the conservative long-term aging capacity.

Almost no site disruption

Particularly, there are often no soil cuttings left over after installing scruples and helical anchors. This maintains the site's cleanliness, necessitates little cleanup after installation at each installation location, and typically results in cheaper project costs. The low noise level associated with installation acts as an additional benefit. A minimum amount of vibration is also produced during installation, which is beneficial for projects that are sensitive to vibrations caused by construction. Screw anchors and helical anchors cause the least amount of interruption to nearby structures due to their compact work footprint. Existing structures can frequently still be utilized during retrofitting or restoration projects while screw piles or helical anchors are being set. They can also be utilized at locations where contaminated soils may be present as they produce no soil cuttings because the soils do not rise to the upper surface.
