Screw Anchors vs. Concrete Deadweight Blocks: The Definitive Comparison

A 4-metre helical screw anchor in sandy bottom delivers 20–50 tonnes of holding capacity. To match that with concrete, you need a 12–15 cubic metre block weighing 25–30 tonnes. The data makes the choice obvious.

What You're Actually Choosing Between

To match the holding capacity of a single 4-metre screw anchor, you need a 12–15 m³ concrete block. Here's what that looks like.

Side-by-side comparison: a 15 m³ concrete deadweight block versus a slender 4 m helical screw anchor — both rated 20–50 tonnes holding capacity
