Elevated platforms for vehicle and pedestrian access enables projects with restrictions such as Tree Preservation Orders, Root Protection Areas and Waterways become reality. Whether you need to build a road for a fire engine access to a housing development, create car parking space in an urban area or need to install a bridge over a river – Ground Screws are the answer.
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.
Our high load bearing Ground Screws provides a solution for soil compaction and root damage in root protection areas by transferring the area loading into point loads via an elevated frame. By avoiding soil excavation and the introduction of concrete contaminants, our Ground Screw system offers an ideal solution to safeguard tree roots. This preservation method ensures the well needed open pore structure, promoting moisture and air flow conducive to healthy root growth.
Alongside preserving the tree root system and enabling a project to become feasible, we can design the system to include block paving or other finishing methods to suit the project so you wouldn’t even know it was there. We can provide a full design of structural elements, fixing details, site-specific Ground Screw Load Testing and installation of the steel frame.
Boardwalks serve as the central means of accessing natural landscapes, providing access to areas that would otherwise be inaccessible in wetland environments. With years of expertise, we have successfully installed boardwalks and footbridges in challenging conditions, including uneven terrain, swampy and boggy wetlands. Our experience extends to addressing difficult circumstances, ensuring safe and clean access for visitors to areas that might have been hazardous otherwise.
