Welcome to Screw Pile Developments.

The Bean Rock light house (1871), which inspires this site, stands on screw pile foundations — literally screwed deep into the rock. They must be doing something right, because Bean Rock Lighthouse has stood strong for over 150 years, guiding ships into Waitemata Harbour. read more… and more… and even more still.

Now, I know that may sound rather grandiose — but you do have to call yourself, and the things you put on the interwebs, something. So there you have it.

This site was originally created as a small corner of my SimCity 4 world. While that content remains, time moves on, and much of it is now considered legacy material.

For support or discussion relating to SimCity 4, the best place to visit is Simtropolis.

These days, new content is more likely to revolve around my model railway layout — The Eight by Four Railway – with extensions, and associated railway short stories. You’ll find these in the blog section on the home page, and within the dropdown menus above.
