Can screw piles be certified for engineering the same way bored piers are?

Yes — screw piles are a genuinely recognised, certifiable foundation system, with installation torque readings recorded and verified against your engineer’s design requirements, providing the same level of documented certification as bored piers.

This certification record is exactly what your building surveyor checks as part of the permit process, regardless of which foundation type was used.
