Not wanting to be foolish and build our new library on sand (actually collapsible soil), contractors here are literally screwing 750 steel screws down through the soil to solid ground. Concrete caps will be poured on the piers and the library built on these caps. One of the piers can be seen in the upper right with two large threads for screwing into the ground. I understand the average pier length is about ten feet.
