The benefits of ground screw foundations for temporary classrooms

  • Immediate installation

    Ground Screws can be quickly installed without the need for extensive excavation or concrete curing time, allowing for swift deployment of temporary classrooms to address urgent space requirements.

  • Tested and Quantifiable

    Our quality control examined Ground Screw’s can be Load Tested and certified to ensure their reliability and suitability for the site-specific requirements

  • Load-bearing capacity

    Despite their rapid installation, Ground Screws offer exceptional load-bearing capacity, ensuring stability and safety for temporary classroom structures.

  • Reusability

    Unlike traditional concrete foundations, Ground Screws can be easily removed and reused, making them a sustainable choice for temporary installations. This reusability minimises waste and reduces environmental impact.

  • Low impact

    Ground Screws require minimal disruption to the surrounding environment during installation, preserving landscaping and reducing carbon emissions compared to concrete foundations.

  • Flexibility

    The modular nature of temporary classrooms pairs seamlessly with Ground Screws, allowing for easy relocation, expansion and availability to overcome sloping ground.

Frequently asked questions about ground screw foundations for temporary classrooms

  • Are ground screw foundations for temporary classrooms as good as concrete?

    Yes, ground screw foundations are just as effective, sturdy and reliable as concrete foundations. They also offer some additional benefits, such as being easy to install and remove and more environmentally friendly than concrete.

  • How long do ground screws take to install?

    Ground screws are very quick to install and are instantly load bearing. This means you can often complete foundation work on the same day.

  • Are ground screws removable?

    Yes, you can remove ground screws by simply reversing the process for installing them. They can be removed with a hand tool and will leave no trace behind. This is ideal for temporary structures like classrooms as it means there will be no damage to the land.

  • How many ground screws do I need for a temporary classroom?

    The number of ground screws you need to create foundations for a temporary classroom will depend on the size and weight of the structure.
