The Proven Quality and Reliability of Ground Screw Foundations

In the construction world, materials' longevity and reliability are not just desired qualities; they are essential. This February, as we continue our journey through 2024, we focus on the enduring quality and reliability of ground screw foundations—a cornerstone in modern, sustainable construction.

The Essence of Quality in Construction

Quality in construction materials directly translates to a structure's safety, durability, and longevity. Ground screws, an innovative alternative to traditional foundations, are not just a sustainable choice but a testament to enduring quality.?

The Reliability Factor

Reliability in construction materials means consistency in performance over time. Our ground screws have been rigorously tested in diverse environmental conditions, from extreme cold to coastal corrosiveness, demonstrating exceptional resilience and stability.

Several industry leaders and construction experts have turned to our ground screw solutions for their projects. Here, we share their experiences and insights on why they trust our product for their most critical applications.

Greg Dewe, Director Oxcon;?

"In our recent large boardwalk project within a Significant Ecological Area (SEA), we opted for ground screws over traditional construction methods. This choice significantly minimized construction traffic and the need for traditional construction materials, yielding substantial benefits. We observed a reduced environmental footprint due to smaller and fewer construction vehicles required. The use of temporary access tracks was minimized, lessening the disturbance to the surrounding ecosystem. We were able to reduce our reliance on traditionally treated timber foundations, cutting down waste. Furthermore, eliminating spoil removal and concrete products not only eased our logistic burden but also reduced our environmental impact. This approach benefited us and our client and preserved the integrity of the sensitive ecological area."

Patrik Samevall, Purchasing Manager Skanska;?

In a groundbreaking residential project in Sweden, Skanska chose StopDigging for the installation of noise barriers using ground screws. This collaboration is a testament to the growing popularity and versatility of ground screws in modern construction. Patrik Samevall praised the effectiveness of this solution, highlighting the minimal ground disturbance and efficiency compared to traditional methods involving heavy machinery and concrete. He noted the significant advantages: shorter installation time and reduced total costs. This successful implementation has shifted Skanska’s perspective on using ground screws for their projects, underscoring StopDigging's role in introducing innovative and sustainable construction solutions to industry leaders.

Dave Barron, General Manager, The House Company;?

“When Stop Digging approached us a number of years ago to introduce screw piles, we were excited to see an alternative foundation system that offered numerous benefits to our business.

– The benefits included a cost-effective, clean, precise system that saved Project Management time and shortened the Construction program. The elimination of spoil from drilled holes meant our sites stayed clean to the benefit of all trades.

Gone are the days of drilling holes and ordering concrete!

We look forward to continuing our relationship with Stop Digging while delivering Award-winning Homes to our Customers.”?

A Look Behind the Scenes

Understanding the manufacturing excellence behind our ground screws is key to appreciating their quality. We employ advanced technology and stringent quality control measures to ensure every screw meets our high standards of reliability.?

The materials we choose must stand the test of time as we build for the future. Ground screw foundations are not just a promise but a proven solution for quality and reliability in construction. This February, we invite you to explore the robustness and dependability that our ground screws bring to every project.
