Then we can help your project run more smoothly, on time and under budget!

What we provide:

• All weather Installation
• Unrivalled speed

• And, of course, No More Digging!

Here at No More Digging, we think, act and promote sustainability and that’s why we believe that our ground screw foundations are the best foundations for SIPs constructions.

Have a look at some of our previous SIPs ground screw installations in our gallery.

 

Facts:

• Concrete is now the second most consumed substance on Earth after water.
• On average, each year 3 tonnes of concrete are consumed by every person on the planet
• Almost 10% of global carbon emissions are a consequence of cement production

Together SIPs and Ground Screw Foundations can provide a cradle to grave sustainable solution for the eco-conscious client

 

Example:

There are:

• 1.25 tonnes of embedded carbon per tonne of cement
• 1.8 tonnes of embedded carbon per tonne of steel

If we take a simple 4m x 5 m plot and create foundations:

• We use approx 1 tonne of cement
• Or 20 ground screws weighing 8.9kg each

Embedded carbon Outcomes:

• Concrete/cement foundations- 1.25 tonnes
• Ground screws- 320.4kg
