New Building Project in Wiltshire, Hampshire, Somerset & beyond?
Our piled suspended steel and timber ring beam system is a highly effective foundation solution for timber frame garden rooms, home extensions, and timber-framed new builds across Wiltshire, Hampshire, and Somerset. This innovative system provides a strong, stable base while reducing ground disruption, making it ideal for a wide range of residential and commercial projects.
This foundation method is particularly well-suited for projects requiring water authority build-over agreements, allowing construction near or over existing drainage systems safely and efficiently. It is also an excellent choice for developments within tree protection zones and conservation areas, where minimal excavation and reduced environmental impact are essential.
Piled Suspended Steel & Timber Ring Beams.
The advantages are many; installation is rapid, there is no waiting for the concrete to cure as this piling system is ready to be built on immediately.
There is no excavation required, and our handheld installation option allows for installation in small spaces or sites with limited access.
There is little noise or ground disturbance and can be installed into most ground types.
Screw piles are extremely shrub and tree friendly as the slender shaft causes virtually no damage to the root systems and as such are highly recommended by arboriculturists.
We offer different sized piles to suit your required loadings making screw piles ideal for various sized projects.
Advantages.
The Process.
We will work to the structural engineer design and calculations for your project which will determine the pile size and quantity and an individual load per pile, to ensure that the structure is correctly supported.
The pile positions are marked out and each helical screw pile is then installed with a digger mounted or hand-held torque head. During installation a gauge constantly measures and monitors the resistance; our installation team will use these readings to reach the required load for each individual pile. The piled suspended steel ring beams finished installation level is slightly above the ground.
Peace Of Mind.
Each pile is then topped with a flat plate termination which will accommodate the steel or timber ring beams. Timber ring beams will support a timber floor and steel ring beams will support a timber or block and beam floor in preparation for the super structure.
Quality Assurance.
The readings during installation are logged and this forms the pile log that we provide you with which confirms that the piles have been installed to the structural engineers plans and calculations, buildings regulations will require this.
