FAQ's
Popular Questions
How does it work?
The conic shape of the screws compresses the soil around it, which increases the load bearing capacity. Whether you would like to build on clay, peat, loam or sand, we have a suitable ground screw for your project to provide a solid foundation.
Are ground screws better than concrete foundations?
Yes! Our Ground screws take a fraction of the time to install when compared to traditional concreting methods. No digging, no muck away, no waiting for concrete to set. Rapid ground screws provide an instant weight bearing foundation system that is ready to build on as soon as we have installed.
Can they be installed in hard to reach areas?
Because no digging or heavy machinery is required, we can install in difficult to access areas such as of grid & wooded areas with limited vehicle access and without damaging the surrounding landscape.
Are they only suitable for certain conditions?
Ground screws can be installed any time of the year and in any weather, during spring, summer, autumn or winter, and in the sun, rain or snow.
Are the ground screws strong?
The Pro-Series ground screws that we use have been developed for heavier load bearing capacities. Produced in accordance with EN-1090-2 standards and galvanized in accordance with DIN EN ISO 1461, ensures extreme stability in any soil.
Do the ground screws need maintenance?
No. Once installed they do not rust or require any maintenance in their lifetime.
