At Heathcote Renewables, we know that the performance of a solar farm depends on solid, reliable foundations. That’s why we combine our expertise in renewable energy projects with Helicasol’s advanced screw piling system and the latest state-of-the-art, GPS-guided equipment. The result: fast, precise, and sustainable foundations with minimal ground disturbance.
Helicasol screw piles are ideal for unstable, uneven, and sensitive ground. They minimise excavation, reduce disturbance, and keep solar projects on schedule with immediate racking installation.
Designed for dependable performance in clay, sand, gravel, and mixed soils, our piles adapt to a wide range of conditions. Site-specific testing ensures the most efficient, cost-effective solution by providing precise data to optimise design, cut material costs, and maximise performance.
Helicasol screw piles offer a highly cost-effective foundation solution for solar farms. Their fast, no-excavation installation cuts labour and equipment costs while keeping projects on schedule. By tailoring helical piles and frames to site conditions, we reduce material use, optimise load capacity, and avoid expensive ground remediation. The result is a reliable, durable foundation that saves both time and money across the project lifecycle.
Installation of Helicasol screw piles is rapid which results in reduced project times. Our expert team use GPS-guided machinery to install the screw piles very efficiently, with no curing time needed.

We can also provide electrical installation.
We also offer advanced trenching operations with specialist equipment for seamless project execution.
Screw piling is a foundation method where steel piles with helical blades are rotated into the ground. For solar farms, it provides a stable and durable base for mounting systems, installed quickly and cleanly.
It’s fast, precise, and sustainable. Screw piling avoids large-scale excavation, causes minimal ground disturbance, and keeps solar projects on schedule by allowing immediate installation of racking systems.
Yes. Our team delivers a complete service, from ground assessment and design to full installation using Helicasol’s advanced screw piling technology.
Helicasol’s system is engineered for strength, adaptability, and durability. Its innovative design ensures dependable performance across a wide range of soil conditions, even on challenging sites.
In most cases, yes. Screw piles are highly versatile and work effectively in clay, sand, gravel, and mixed soils. Our site-specific testing ensures the most efficient and cost-effective foundation solution. By analysing critical areas with precise, calibrated methods, we provide reliable data to optimise design, reduce material costs, and maximize performance. We tailor the pile design to match your site’s conditions.
Installation is rapid. With our expertise and GPS-guided machinery, screw piles for solar farms can often be installed in days, with no curing time needed.
Absolutely. It causes minimal ground disturbance, avoids large concrete pours, and piles can be removed or reused – making it a sustainable choice.
We use the latest semi-automated, GPS-guided equipment. This ensures precise, efficient, and consistent installation across large-scale solar farms.
Very strong. Screw piles are designed for excellent load-bearing capacity and long-term performance. With Helicasol’s advanced system, they deliver stable, durable foundations that last and are backed by a 40-year warranty.
With our state-of-the-art, GPS-guided equipment and experienced team, Heathcote Renewables delivers screw piling with speed and precision. By using Helicasol’s advanced system, we ensure every solar project benefits from strong, sustainable, and long-lasting foundations.
