ScrewFast Foundations responsive Design Department and experienced Research and Development Team are continuously designing new and innovative steel-based foundation solutions to satisfy the requirements of individual clients.
Each foundation that ScrewFast supplies is tailored to the specific structure, ground condition and location of the project. Since the company's inception a number of standard solutions have been developed to accommodate common ground conditions and structural loadings.
Helical Pile
A steel pile with helical plates placed at strategic positions along the shaft. The plates give the foundation both tension and compression bearing capacity. The pile is normally connected in groups to a steel load transfer grillage. No concrete is needed.
GRIP Pile®
A rock anchor/shear tube hybrid adapted by ScrewFast for support work in very hard conditions. A large shear tube which encases the rock anchor is used to transfer the load through soft soils onto bed rock or very hard strata. View a video here.
Tubular driven STEEL pile
A large hollow tube, driven or vibrated into the ground in short sections. A Down-the-Hole (DTH) hammer is sometimes used during installation.
A single helical pile with a winged sleeve attachment. The winged section is driven over the shaft of a helical pile, to give the foundation extra lateral stability in the softer top soil.
GRILLAGES
Bespoke design available for many applications, including standard sized Y-shape/T-shape/Cruciform/6/8/10 pile grillages. They rigidly and securely connect the structure to the piles.
STAR Pile
A steel winged pile, which is driven into the ground to provide an instant foundation for smaller structures.
