The advantages of our foundations, machinery, and installations for commercial projects

BESS | Foundations on screw piles | UK

A high load bearing foundation solution

With a single RADIX Ground Screw or screw pile capable of supporting point loads over 75kN, our groundbreaking foundation system provides a robust and sustainable base suited to projects of all scales and complexities across various sectors.

We have developed a hybrid screw pile, that replaces the need for typical piling and concrete foundations for many types of projects.

The load-bearing capacity of our screw piles, when installed and laid out correctly can support substantial weights.

Supporting commercial projects with minimal damage or disruption while being a cost-effective solution

One of the significant benefits of our foundations is their ability to be installed rapidly without extensive excavations and expensive removal of spoils from the site, minimising the impact on commuters, the local community, and surrounding businesses.

Our time-saving installations reduce the risk of costly delays and help you hit deadlines. With us their is no waiting for concrete to cure!

Foundations | Ground screw installations on sloping ground

Adaptability, versatility and sustainability targets

Our screw piles can bring up levels quickly over sloping, uneven and soft ground.

Our sustainable foundations can be removed easily, which makes them suitable for temporary structures as well as long-term projects.

In addition to their reusability, our foundations contain less than 50% of the embodied carbon when compared to concrete. These facts will help companies reach their sustainability targets and help contribute to a net zero future. At RADIX we believe in sustainable construction and this starts with building on sustainable foundations.

Overcoming challenging conditions with industry-leading foundation installation equipment

Our powerful but agile hydraulic installation machines can manoeuvre and operate around challenging locations while delivering in excess of 20,000Nm of torque to ensure Our foundations are installed to load-bearing depths in even the most demanding conditions, including cold winters and frozen, hard-packed ground.

You can be confident in delivering your project on time with our products, machinery and highly experienced team.

When Reforesting Scotland were looking for a low-impact foundation solution for their Hut Of Wellbeing project, RADIX came up with the answer. Ground Screws allowed us to achieve a robust and level base for the project over the area of sloping ground and reach the load-bearing depths required. We cannot speak too highly of the company, the product and the team, they are without doubt exceptional.

We’ve worked with the team from Radix for some years now and always find them to be a fantastic asset to our business. Their knowledge and understanding of ground conditions and levels is amazing. When we’re concerned as to the suitability of a site for one of our Garden Rooms, they’ll happily attend a pre install visit and always find a way to make it work.

We need information about what you are building, the sites location, ground conditions and soil reports, engineer reports, architects drawings, access points and anything else we deem necessary. Each project is different, so the required information we need will vary.
