Company History
ScrewFast Heritage and Pedigree
ScrewFast Foundations Ltd evolved from a franchised soils investigation company called Mini Soils Surveys. Drawing on improvements that American company, AB Chance, had made to the almost forgotten foundation techniques of Victorian inventor Alexander Mitchell, the fledgling company ScrewFast Foundations Ltd reintroduced an improved screw piling industry concept, to the United Kingdom at the turn of the millennium.
