A ground screw is a steel screw that is screwed into the ground.  The screw provides a stable foundation for your project.

A ground screw has two main elements: a helical thread wound around a steel shaft.  As the ground screw is wound into the ground, the helical thread and the steel shaft encounter resistance to insertion.  The greater the resistance encountered, the greater the load the screw will support.

The longer the ground screw is, the greater the load it can support. This is because soil becomes more compacted the deeper you insert the screw, creating increased resistance on the screw.

Ground screws cost less than concrete and are quicker to install.  In general, your foundation will cost one-quarter to one-half of the price of a concrete slab.

Once installed, you can start your structure immediately.

Our ground screws are made of the highest quality steel and are hot-dipped galvanised.  Depending on the soil type, a ground screw could many years in the soil without any significant wear.

Ground screws are suitable for all common soil types.  However, in some cases, we can do a soil test to determine the load capability of your soil type.  Screw piles are sometimes the only economic solution where soil is unstable.
