Abstract
Helical screw pile assemblies for piling and screwing into a foundation or the ground are provided. These pile assemblies comprise a disc member that mechanically engages with an elongated member causing the disc member to fasten onto the elongated member.
Claims17
A pile assembly comprising:
- an elongated member comprising a plurality of holes, the plurality of holes displaced helically along the surface of the elongated member;
- and
- a disc member comprising:
- an outer peripheral extent and an inner peripheral extent;
- a slot extending between the outer peripheral extent and the inner peripheral extent to form spaced-apart first and second ends;
- and
- a plurality of protruding elements displaced radially along the inner peripheral extent;
- whereas in a first unassembled configuration, the first end and second end of the disc member are substantially coplanar with each other;
- and
- whereas in a second assembled configuration, the first end and the second end of the disc member are axially separated from each other such that the disc member forms a helical shape and the plurality of protruding elements engage with the plurality of holes along the surface of the elongated member.

A method for assembling a pile comprising a disc member comprising an outer peripheral extent and an inner peripheral extent and a slot extending between the outer peripheral extent and the inner peripheral extent to form spaced-apart first and second ends, the method comprising the steps of:
- axially separating the first end and the second end of the disc member allowing the disc member to form a helical shape having a central cavity defined by the inner peripheral extent;
- providing an elongated member and positioning the elongated member longitudinally within the central cavity;
- engaging the inner peripheral extent of the disc member with the elongated member;
- and
- fastening the disc member onto the elongated member.
