One of the most challenging jobs we have undertaken.
Situated in a glacial valley, the ground underfoot was yielding and had no load bearing capabilities.
After completing geotechnical testing we were able to reach the load bearing strata with 2000mm foundation screws. It was determined that 40 foundation screws would be required to support the building and to provide slope stabilization.
A handheld machine was used to install the foundation screws. Without foundation screws the contractor would have had to remove at least 200 cubic metres of spoils from an environmentally sensitive site
