Here at the Ground Screw Centre we partner with holiday and leisure park operators to provide secure foundations for new buildings and lodges. Our Ground Screws and installation team offers better value with a greener alternative to traditional concrete foundations.
Fast and effective installation which requires no digging and concrete creates an immediate foundation for your structure.
Our quality control examined Ground Screw’s can be Load Tested and certified to ensure their reliability and suitability for the site-specific requirements
Our Ground Screws are fully galvanised to protect against rusting. For added peace of mind, they are CE approved with a 20-year product guarantee and BS EN 1461:2009 compliant
Suitable for a wide range of structures, our Ground Screws are immediately load bearing, so as soon as they are installed you can start building.
Suitable for permanent or temporary structures and easily removable with site damage
Reduced CO2 from pouring concrete. Helps protect habitats and prevent damage to tree root systems
Using Ground Screws eliminates any access issues - Our Ground Screws, bracket systems and tools can all be carried by hand.
A Ground Screw system minimises disruptions to your property, as it often involves less noise, debris, and disturbance compared to traditional foundation construction.
Current challenge
The conventional approach to securing park homes and lodges involves expensive concrete pads with fragile axial stands. Unsightly concrete pads often protrude beyond the building’s footprint. While the building quality standards and designs have evolved over the years, the foundations remain stuck in the past. A reluctance to innovate and embrace change has hindered the adoption of modern and efficient alternatives.
Our Solution
Using point load distribution will create an efficient base which supports the building in the right areas and doesn’t waste time, money and materials on large unnecessary concrete bases. Elevating the building will enable drainage and prevent water retention on the base which may encourage freezing and cracking in the concrete.
Each Ground Screw head will incorporate a height adjustable clamp to ensure its flexibility in fixing when craning the building into position and to prevent twisting, lateral movement and uplift forces.
Our Ground Screw solution offers an eco-friendly and economical foundation option that not only supports your construction needs but also aids in your planning application by demonstrating a commitment to minimising landscape, environmental impact and local disruption.
Utilising our fixed length or extendable range will enable us to overcome sloping ground, poor soil conditions and quality control whilst achieving all load requirements. Our high torque handheld and tracked machinery enable us to install deep foundations if required.
The layout and quantity of the Ground Screws can be increased to allow support for raised decking platforms for outdoor space. We can supply and install a C24 Construction Grade Treated joist base for your sub-base which you can find out more on our professional installation page.
Given the significant variations in ground conditions across different sites, a site-specific load testing is the most accurate method for assessing the performance of a Ground Screw in its installed environment. With over 15 years of experience, our dedicated team has been conducting load tests, ensuring precise evaluations of Ground Screw performance.
