Hi! The choice of screw pile installation method depends on several key factors you need to evaluate. Consider your financial capabilities - mechanical installation costs more upfront but may be more economical overall for larger projects. Assess access roads and whether equipment can reach your site. Evaluate the location of the pile foundation - if access to the site is difficult or piles are to be installed in water, the manual method is the only suitable method. Consider soil type - dense soil is very challenging for manual installation but mechanized equipment handles it easily. Factor in the time of year and your timeline - in situations where the foundation needs to be installed as quickly as possible, a mechanical method is preferable. It's important to remember that even when choosing a specific installation method, there are many different types of tools that can be used. In any case, these should be professional tools, not household appliances, which won't provide sufficient precision and reliability. Each method has advantages and limitations that you need to understand.
