First Base Groundscrews
We work with First Base Ground Screws who are an authorised installer in the UK.
Ground Screws are developed by experienced civil and structural engineers, in close cooperation with scientists and steel producers. The screws can bear up to 150 kN per foundation. Ground Screws can be easily installed by using a manual installation tool, an electric or pneumatic ground screw drill or hydraulic machine. 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, FIRST BASE guarantees you a solid foundation
