CASE STUDY
Client:
Bison Bridges
Location:
Warwickshire
Project:
Ground screw foundations for two pedestrian bridges
Install Team:
No More Digging West Midlands
The project was set within a sensitive natural setting where traditional excavation methods would have caused unnecessary disturbance to the ground and surrounding habitats. The foundations needed to provide long-term structural stability for two bridges while aligning with the client’s sustainability objectives and allowing for potential future changes to the site. Minimising disruption during installation was a key requirement, both in terms of environmental impact and on-site logistics.
Ground screw foundations were selected as the most appropriate system for the site, offering a robust yet reversible alternative to concrete. The screws were installed efficiently with minimal ground disturbance, avoiding spoil removal, curing time, and heavy excavation equipment. This approach ensured the natural landscape remained largely untouched throughout the works.
The installed foundations provide immediate load-bearing capacity for the bridges and can be fully removed if the structures are ever relocated or decommissioned, leaving the site close to its original condition. The result is a durable, low-maintenance foundation solution that supports the bridges while respecting the surrounding environment and demonstrating the versatility of ground screws for infrastructure projects immersed in nature.
