In light of the recent RAAC (Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete) concrete crisis affecting schools and civil infrastructure, there's an urgent need for innovative solutions. Ground Screws emerge as a sustainable and practical alternative, especially in providing foundations for temporary classrooms.
Ground Screws can be quickly installed without the need for extensive excavation or concrete curing time, allowing for swift deployment of temporary classrooms to address urgent space requirements.
Our quality control examined Ground Screw’s can be Load Tested and certified to ensure their reliability and suitability for the site-specific requirements
Despite their rapid installation, Ground Screws offer exceptional load-bearing capacity, ensuring stability and safety for temporary classroom structures.
Unlike traditional concrete foundations, Ground Screws can be easily removed and reused, making them a sustainable choice for temporary installations. This reusability minimises waste and reduces environmental impact.
Ground Screws require minimal disruption to the surrounding environment during installation, preserving landscaping and reducing carbon emissions compared to concrete foundations.
The modular nature of temporary classrooms pairs seamlessly with Ground Screws, allowing for easy relocation, expansion and availability to overcome sloping ground.
As educational institutions grapple with the challenges posed by the RAAC concrete crisis, Ground Screws emerge as a practical and sustainable solution for providing foundations for temporary classrooms. At The Ground Screw Centre, we’re committed to supporting schools and educational organisations in overcoming these challenges with our reliable and eco-friendly Ground Screw solutions.
Get in touch with us today to learn more about how we can assist you in addressing the RAAC concrete crisis and ensuring safe, resilient learning environments for students.
Ground Screws are rapidly installed and minimise disruption to the school environment. Unlike concrete, there’s no need for extensive excavation or waiting for curing time, installation is also much cleaner, reducing dust and noise.
Additionally, Ground Screws are easily removed and re-used elsewhere on the school grounds for future needs. This reusability, combined with their minimal footprint that protects playgrounds and green spaces, makes Ground Screws a sustainable solution for temporary classrooms.
Are ground screw foundations for temporary classrooms as good as concrete?
Yes, ground screw foundations are just as effective, sturdy and reliable as concrete foundations. They also offer some additional benefits, such as being easy to install and remove and more environmentally friendly than concrete.
How long do ground screws take to install?
Ground screws are very quick to install and are instantly load bearing. This means you can often complete foundation work on the same day.
Are ground screws removable?
Yes, you can remove ground screws by simply reversing the process for installing them. They can be removed with a hand tool and will leave no trace behind. This is ideal for temporary structures like classrooms as it means there will be no damage to the land.
How many ground screws do I need for a temporary classroom?
The number of ground screws you need to create foundations for a temporary classroom will depend on the size and weight of the structure.
