Installation

Efficiently installing ground screws across various soil conditions is a breeze with our range of low-speed, high-torque drivers. Once installed, ground screws are immediately ready for loading, making them perfect for one-day projects like solar arrays, decks, fences, and various foundations.

Our team of Ground Screw Installation experts handles the entire process swiftly and effectively. By opting for ground screw foundations, you can sidestep the mess, inconvenience, and environmental impact associated with concrete.

Ground Screws Yorkshire is committed to delivering top-notch quality from conception to installation.

We offer ground screws in six different diameters ranging from 63.5 to 139.7 millimeters. Generally, larger diameters translate to greater stability and higher load-bearing capacity, but deeper foundations have limitations.

Our well-trained teams across the UK provide professional services to ensure your project kicks off smoothly with minimal disruption and environmental harm.

Here’s how our process works:

 

  1. Upon arrival, we mark out your project and the locations for ground screw foundations.
  2. We conduct visual checks and scan the area for utilities.
  3. Each location is predrilled, and ground screws are positioned accordingly.
  4. Using our installation machines, we drive in the ground screw at the highest point and set the level.
  5. The remaining screws are installed with laser precision.
  6. If needed for your project, brackets, fittings, and subframes are promptly installed.
  7. A quick cleanup, and we’re done!
