Long-Lasting Foundations for Boardwalks, Footbridges & Bridge Footings
Time:2025-09-11

Better Screw Co. is proud to showcase its foundation solutions for boardwalks, footbridges, and bridge footings, centered on galvanized steel helical piles engineered for strength, safety, and economy.


Key Advantages

  • Durability in All Conditions: These piles are resistant to corrosion, capable of withstanding the cycles of freezing and thawing, and adapted to diverse soil types. That makes them a solid foundation choice for wood, steel, or composite boardwalks and bridge structures. 

  • Broad Load Capability: Helical piles can handle compressive, tensile, and lateral forces, essential for bridges and walkways that may be subject to dynamic loads (people, equipment, environmental pressures). 

  • Economical & Customizable: Because installation is less intensive (no massive forms or long waits for concrete to cure), the total project costs can be lower. Better Screw Co. offers custom sizes and specifications to match project needs – from small footbridges to larger dock walkways. 


Ideal Use Cases

Coastal or waterfront boardwalks where wood or other surfaces need a stable, rust-resistant base.

Light pedestrian bridges over soft soils or wetlands where traditional foundations are impractical.

Bridge footings in parks, trails, or resort settings where visual appeal and longevity both matter.
