Screw piles under a ring beam
To the module builder's foundation plan, with an extra line under the module joints.
Modular building foundation
Modular buildings and eco homes on screw piles
Modular and timber-frame construction is fast: the modules arrive finished from the factory. The foundation has to be just as fast and sustainable. Screw piles can be loaded at once, are removable and use no concrete.
Why no concrete?
- Ready when the modules arrive, no curing time in the schedule
- A ring beam all round and an extra line of piles under every module joint
- Circular: piles are removable and reusable, the ground stays clean
- 60 to 80% less CO₂ than a concrete foundation
- Also in large numbers: an emergency village of 150 homes in 2 weeks
Which foundation?
Timber frame
Intermediate lines of piles under load-bearing walls. Our pile calculator works it out for a two-storey home.
Large projects
For schools, offices or emergency housing we start from CPT soundings and work with your engineer.
How it works
How it works on site
- PlanYou send us the module builder's foundation plan.
- Screwing inWe screw the piles down to bearing ground and measure the torque of every pile.
- To levelAdjustable pile heads absorb level differences.
- PlacingThe modules go straight onto their foundation.
