As we welcome December and the arrival of winter, many construction projects start to slow down - or even pause - due to cold temperatures, frozen ground, and unpredictable weather. But at ABC Anchors, we’re proud to say that your foundation work doesn’t have to wait for spring. Thanks to our robust Autoguide Torque Heads and high-performance screw piles, foundation installation can continue smoothly even in the coldest months.



Winter Conditions? No Problem for Screw Piles

Traditional concrete foundations struggle in winter. Low temperatures affect curing times, frost can disrupt excavations, and wet ground often brings delays. Screw piles, however, are installed quickly and cleanly, without the need for excavation or concrete.

Our hydraulic torque heads - available for hire or purchase - deliver the power and precision needed to install piles efficiently, regardless of conditions. Whether you’re working on a modular building, garden room, low-impact structure, or a commercial project, screw piles offer a reliable winter-proof solution.


Why Screw Piles Excel in Cold Weather

  • No curing time – Install and build immediately, even in freezing temperatures.

  • Minimal ground disturbance – Frozen or soft winter ground is no issue.

  • Fast installation – Keep your schedule moving when other foundation methods halt.

  • Precise torque monitoring – Ensure secure installation with our advanced torque head technology.

  • Eco-friendly – No digging, no spoil removal, and no concrete required.


Torque Heads Designed for Year-Round Performance

ABC Anchors supplies a full range of Autoguide Torque Heads, including hand-held units for tight-access sites and high-torque head options for heavy-duty work. Our equipment is engineered for consistent performance in tough weather, giving installers the confidence to keep projects progressing all year long.


Don’t Let Winter Slow You Down

December might mark the start of the cold season, but with ABC Anchors’ screw pile foundations and torque installation equipment, your project doesn’t need to pause. We’re here to support foundation work rain, frost, or shine.

If you’d like advice on winter installations or need to hire a torque head, our team is here to help.
