ScrewFast have successfully completed the design, supply and installation of helical piles and steel grillages at Barking 400kV Substation, supporting numerous structures throughout the site. The works were completed in 2 phases spanning 2012-2014. Comparisons where taken between the use of steel and concrete, considering the whole life and direct project benefits. Helical piles demonstrated significant gains in Value for Money, Installation and Performance. During the works, tests were performed to investigate the effects of stray current and the steel pile and grillage acting as sacrificial member. Following some collaborative design innovation with our client (SEESA) the tests conclusively removed any doubt of the possibility of stray current. The SEESA Team at Barking Substation recently collected the SEESA Project of...

Portal Gantry Foundations like MS3 & MS4 Motorway sign Foundations can be fixed using the traditional Concrete Pilling method however industry experts have, for quite some time, preferred to utilize ScrewFast`s Helical Pilling method due to massive savings in cost, manpower, materials, and time combined with the health and safety and ecological benefits that this process provides. Helical pile Portal Gantry Foundations Support many structures that we encounter in our daily lives and provide completely safe, solid bases that can be rapidly installed at considerably less cost than their Concrete pile counterparts. The above Road and Railway structures are a perfect example of situations in which the ScrewFast Helical Pile Portal Gantry Foundation method can be used in the modern...

Piles are used in many forms of construction where deep, secure fixings are required in soil or rock for foundation purposes enabling engineers to safely and securely attach structures or materials to the protruding end of the embedded Pile fixing. The patented steel GRIP Pile technology is a variation on the commonly used micro-pile offering a significant advantage over the micro-pile primarily due to the fact that its design negates the need for a grout pump. Instead, GRIP Pile technology utilises a nylon tipped plunger which creates many times more pressure that any grout pump is capable of producing to force the site-mixed grout into the open pile tubing and out of specially designed exit holes, at the end of...

For many years the standard procedure for MS3 Foundations and MS4 Foundations has been the tried and trusted method known as Concrete Pile. While this is form of foundation fixing is perfectly adequate for its intended purpose it is very time consuming and labour intensive compared to the ScrewFast Piling method for Gantry Foundations. ScrewFast`s Helical Piling method for MS3 & MS4 Foundations can be completed form start to finish in 1/3 of the time that it takes to complete a project using the concrete piling method thus reducing the need for traffic management and inconvenience to motorists. Compared to the Concrete piling method ScrewFast`s Helical Piling Method for MS3 and MS4 Foundations offer the following time and financial savings…...
