FOUNDATION SYSTEMS

We are a family based business who are acknowledging foundation issues in the current market throughout New Zealand.

Katana Foundations takes pride in being an innovative leader in the Steel Screw Piling industry. We aim to deliver the highest quality products and services currently available to the residential building and commercial building markets.

While Katana Foundations has become well known across New Zealand and Australia as a leading supplier and installer of screw piles, we work shoulder to shoulder with our clients, delivering best practice foundation and flooring solutions.

What are Screw Piles?

Screw Piles are a far more efficient foundation system than concrete. Installation is environmentally responsible, quicker, vibrationless and suitable for all geotechnical conditions. Our Twin-Fin screw pile is the market leader in use throughout New Zealand and Australia.
