cause much
less disruption
compared to

Investigative work for a single
storey workshop extension
showed that load bearing
depth and soil composition
varied across the whole area
of the proposed site.
These observations and the
need for economical and
reliable foundations to be
installed quickly, whilst
causing minimal disruption,
resulted in the specification
of Helifix Micro-piles as the
solution. Not only would the
Micro-piles provide rapid,
cost-effective structural
support for the new building,
The installation
was so rapid that
the foundations were installed
in just one day, with no spoil
removal, vibrations or major
interuptions to the existing
commercial property. Each of
the six Micro-piles required
were simply ‘screwed’
vertically into the ground,
at the appropriate locations,
using a hydraulic drive head.

is the first true village you
