Road infrastructure projects – from national highways and urban intersections to park-and-ride lots and multimodal hubs – are like surgery on a beating heart. You can’t just stop traffic, redirect every user, or wait for concrete to cure.

That’s exactly why foundation screw piles are increasingly becoming the literal foundation for:

• traffic signal masts,

• variable message signs and information displays,

• lighting columns,

• overhead road structures (gantries, portals),

• surveillance, ITS systems, and city cameras,

• as well as crash barriers and acoustic screens.

These elements not only need to be installed rapidly – they must also remain functional for decades, regardless of wind loads, vibrations, or changing soil conditions.

Unlike traditional foundation methods, WFS screw piles:

• require no excavation,

• need no concrete,

• are installed without interrupting traffic,

• and become fully load-bearing immediately after installation.

Thanks to displacement foundation screw pile technology, the threaded shaft is driven directly into the ground – whether cohesive, non-cohesive, compacted, or loose. As a result, the piles don’t weaken the soil – they actually compact it, increasing overall bearing capacity.

Durability and precision in one solution

Constructed from high-grade structural steel and protected by hot-dip galvanizing, WFS foundations are resistant to:

• road salt and de-icing chemicals,

• fluctuating weather conditions,

• mechanical damage,

• and corrosion – even in high-humidity environments.

Each pile undergoes precise structural analysis – accounting for vertical and horizontal loads, as well as bending moments – making it a safe foundation even for the most demanding installations. The modular system allows the depth and configuration to be tailored to the specific requirements of each installation point.

Time is money – and in road infrastructure, it’s also a key factor in safety and logistics. WFS screw piles allow you to:

• complete installations within a single working day,

• avoid weather-related delays,

• minimize disruption to the environment and existing infrastructure (such as green verges or underground utilities),

• and significantly reduce total foundation costs by eliminating wet works and heavy machinery.

And when a project requires relocation or decommissioning – the piles can simply be unscrewed and reused. Yes, this is a foundation that gives you a second chance.

The future of roads? Screwed in – not poured.

WFS proves that road infrastructure can be built quickly, precisely, and with environmental responsibility. Foundation screw piles are no longer an alternative – they are the new standard.

Thanks to their modularity, high load capacity, minimal invasiveness, and rapid installation, WFS foundations are perfectly suited to the realities of modern road construction – where there’s no room for error or delay.

No need to change direction.  Just screw into the right technology.
