Extension shafts are used to lengthen the pile so that they go into the appropriate load bearing strata and reach the desired depth and capacity. With the application of torque, screw piles can be "screwed" or advanced to the appropriate load bearing strata. Once the desired depth and capacity has been reached, brackets are used at the end of the piles to secure them to the structure. Concrete footings and structural slabs can be formed and poured immediately after pile installation.
