pioneered the revolution in screw piling foundations and
was the first provider of Large Diameter Helical Piles in
UK infrastructure. The steel foundations specialists offer
a full range of solutions and supply to all industry sectors.
Steel-based foundations (helical piles and driven piling)
have grown to be recognised and accepted as a preferred
option for Highways and Rail Structures, Electrification
and Energy Structures, Telecommunication Masts,
Marine-based Construction, Eco-Friendly Building
and many other industries.
Our ISO9001:2008 UKAS accreditation guarantees the

type in any location.
Leading the field of steel screw pile foundations
Compared to conventionaltechniques, these have not onlyreduced the time on site by nearly 50%,but have generated cost savings of nearly 30%.
The ScrewFastsystem dramatically reduces theamount of time and number of operatives required
for the site installation of the works makingthe process inherently safer and substantiallycheaper. This equates to a reduction in thetime exposed to the risks of working onlive carriageways of 70%.

leading to cost savings
Minimal environmental legacy;
eliminating 'dig and dump'
Reduced carbon footprint
Ease of installation; reduced number of plant
and workers
Reduced risk to workforce
Reduced risk and inconvenience to public
Remote locations reached
Ease of demolition; foundations quickly
and easily unscrewed

Helical Screw Piles
A steel pile with helical plates placed at strategic
positions along the shaft. The plates give the foundation
both tension and compression bearing capacity. Piles are
normally connected in groups to a steel load transfer
grillage. No concrete is needed.
Angel Pile
A single helical pile with a winged sleeve attachment.
The winged section is driven over the shaft of a helical
pile, to give the foundation extra lateral stability in the
softer top soil.
Tubular Driven Steel Piles
A large hollow tube, driven or vibrated into the ground in
short sections. A Down-the-Hole (DTH) hammer is
sometimes used during installation.
GRIP Piles
A rock anchor/shear tube hybrid adapted by ScrewFast
for support work in very hard soil conditions. A large
shear tube which encases the rock anchor is used to
transfer the load through soft soils onto bed rock or very
hard strata.
STAR Pile
A steel winged pile, which is driven into the ground to
provide an instant foundation for smaller structures.
ScrewFast Foundations responsive Design
Department and experienced Research and
Development Team are continuously designing new
and innovative steel-based foundation solutions
to satisfy the requirements of individual clients.
Each foundation that ScrewFast supplies is tailored
to the specific structure, ground condition and
location of the project. Since the company's
inception a number of standard solutions have
been developed to accommodate common
ground conditions and structural loadings.

ScrewFasts innovative dynamic design approach
providing proven engineering solutions combined
with geotechnical expertise is the strength behind
our success. Our Design Team has been carefully
developed to blend a very high standard of
geotechnical and structural design skills.
Supply & Installation
We supply a wide range of foundation solutions to meet
the requirements of your individual project. Each helical
screw pile or alternative foundation is designed based upon
accurate soil testing, site investigation and the loading ofeach structure.
Much of the work undertaken on site requires robust
environmental management to protect and minimise any
adverse impact from construction. Sites are properly
defined with all protection measures in place and personnel
fully briefed on the site requirements. Senior managers
have clarity of vision and maturity of judgement, giving our
clients and staff confidence in the way forward.
Monitoring & Testing
In line with ScrewFasts policy of conservative design,
regular testing and monitoring of installed foundations is
carried out. This is normally done at the start of a new
project in order to verify that the pile design is correct for
the ground conditions as expected.
TrainingScrewFast will license and train a limited number of
selected contractors who wish to carry out their own
installations. Details on request.
24hour Support
ScrewFast provides a 24 hour Helpline for all projects,
manned by qualified engineers.
We believe that the cornerstones of partnering are:
ScrewFast places emphasis, throughout the organisation
and supply chain, on these principles and a sincere and
enthusiastic customer care culture.
We believe in team work with a can-do approach while
keeping in sight the importance of Health, Safety and
Quality. Everyone is actively encouraged and motivated to
suggest more efficient methods of working.
ScrewFast encourages good communications and
generous support throughout the project team to address
any issues and agree solutions swiftly and positively. This
greatly assists in the delivery of projects safely, on time, on
budget and to high standards of quality, while complying
with the required environmental standards.

Conventionally cast concrete foundations
ScrewFast can design all forms of steel foundations, as
well as a range of concrete types, which are suited to
all soil types, including very dense material and rock.
The most appropriate foundation technology is
specified according to the loads and geology
encountered, that's why each ScrewFast foundationis bespoke designed for maximum foundation
performance.
Bespoke Services/Projects
Grillages
Bespoke design available for
many applications, including
standard sized, T shape, Y-
shape, cruciform, 6, 8, 10 pile
grillages. They rigidly and
securely connect the structure
to the piles.
Ballast Retaining Structures
From temporary emergency repairs to permanent
large scale Ballast Retention projects, ScrewFast
have a range of retaining products that have been
proven on many rail sites.

Project:
Henham Footbridge (Latitude Music Festival)
49m span permanent bridge structure was installed in
just 21 days in time to take 400,000+ visitors crossingto the Latitude Music Festival
Project:
Chilleron Solar Farm, Cuenca, Spain
1.6 MW Solar Farm using Z-pile foundations installed
over 5 weeks in dense sands
Project:
Tesco Stores Ltd
- Wootton Bridge, Isle of Wight
34 helical piles were used in
the building foundation to
accommodate existing
underground services
Reduction in construction time
and of general public exposure
to live works
Project:
Leicester City Centre
9.5m Big Screen
A four pile foundation solution
was used around existing
underground services
Reduction in construction time
and therefore avoiding
disruption to the general public
and the risk involved withexposure to live works
Project:
M6, M52 Gantry Platforms
6 verge to verge (one 62m span)
and 11 cantilever gantries using
a combination of helical and
GRIP piles significantly cut
down programme time
Project:
Southwark Park Caryatids statues, Rotherhithe Helical pile foundations were used to support the
heavy statues and to minimise damage to existing
tree roots which was one of the local councils key
requirements
Project:
Clongriffen Station, Dublin OHLE Compared to the traditional concrete foundations,
weeks were saved from the project.
By reducing the number and duration of track
possessions the overall project costs
were reduced
Shown here is a small selection of foundation
projects undertaken for large and small
applications throughout Europe. Further case
studies can be viewed at www.screwfast.com

I have been incrediblypleased with working
with ScrewFast.
