Foundation screws are perfectly suitable for installing in fresh water and sea water.
A distinction must be made here between two cases:
- The installation is carried out in shallow water: an installation machine that does not require a specific tool can be used. As the Toku MI4500 is pneumatic, there is no risk of electrocution.
- The installation is carried out in deeper water: the pneumatic machine must be adapted to the work carried out underwater.
-
The service life is measured in terms of years before any maintenance of the galvanization is required.
Obviously, this depends on the environment in which the screw is installed.
- In less aggressive environments, the service life is between 35 and 50 years.
- In marine environments, the service life is between 9 and 11 years.

As exotic wood with large cross-sections is rare and expensive, WeasyFix proposes a structural alternative enabling the use of small cross-sections of exotic wood while reducing the number of foundation screws required to ensure an even load distribution.
