Project overview
Calculated screw pile foundations for a heavy steel frame games room, installed in a single day.
15 load calculated screw piles installed in one day for a heavy steel frame snooker and games room. Our team surveyed the ground, engineered a pile schedule to the structural loads and delivered the installation with on-site load testing and a signed compression report on completion.
01. The brief
Work with the client's specialist engineers and manufacturers to provide calculated screw pile foundations for a heavy steel frame building for a snooker and games room.
02. The challenge
The proposed location was next to a tiered garden belonging to a neighbouring property, where foundation digging and concrete pouring would have been impossible.
03. Our solution
We used our load calculated screw piles in conjunction with the client's steel frame to deliver 15 ground screws in one day, ready for frame erection the next morning.
- Engineered specific ground screws
- Precision placement and installation
- Laser accurate levelling
- No foundation digging needed
04. The outcome
The installation of ground screws enabled our client to achieve the games room he had hoped for, but had been told he could not logistically achieve.
