The Recorded History of the Helical Pile
The First Treehouse
Switzerland (4000 BC)The first documented group of humans to employ a pile in their construction was a Neolithic tribe known as the "Swiss lake dwellers," who lived in what is now known as Switzerland. To help keep their houses safe from the wild, they elevated them using piles.
Lighthouses
England (1830)Alexander Mitchell of England created the screw pile, a significant advancement over the standard wood straight pile construction type, and this invention revolutionized piles. This new metallic pile had helix-shaped blades that screwed into the ground and could reach deep beneath the damaged soil.
On the Waterfront
Italy (100 BC)From 100 BC to 400 AD, the homes on the coastline in the cities of Venice and Ravenna were constructed on piles.
Bridges
Tiber River, Rome (1620 BC)Romans used timber piles to construct the first bridge across the Tiber River in Rome. Timber piling was so successful that it was also employed to build the first bridge over the Thames River in 60 AD.
Water Locks
New York (1825)Timber piles supported the Erie Canal’s water locks in New York. There were 700 piles supporting each lock.
