At Causeway Geo Technical, we believe foundations don’t have to be complicated. Our ground screw and screw pile installation process is designed to make life easier for developers and contractors, ensuring every project starts on firm, sustainable ground. From the very first conversation through to the final handover, we take care of everything in-house – with no hidden extras, no wasted time, and no concrete chaos.
Our mission is simple: to deliver eco-friendly, cost-effective, and structurally sound foundation solutions that meet the highest building regulation standards. We believe foundations shouldn’t “cost the earth” – both in terms of money and environmental impact. That’s why we’re proud to be part of a growing UK movement replacing outdated concrete methods with sustainable screw pile technology.
We start by getting to know your project inside and out — from site conditions to your build requirements. Our team then creates detailed PICO plans, outlining the proposed design, costs, and installation approach. Once approved, a purchase order confirms your project and we’re ready to move forward.
Before any installation, we carry out a soil pressure test to understand the ground conditions. This helps us determine the soil type, density, and load-bearing capacity — ensuring your foundations are designed to perform exactly as needed.
With the soil data in hand, our structural engineers produce detailed installation drawings. These designs meet Building Control requirements and specify exactly how your foundation system will be installed for maximum strength and compliance.
Next, we excavate where required and install the helical ground screws — precision-driven steel anchors that form the core of your foundation system.
We then prepare the ring beam or raft that ties the screws together, creating a strong and stable base for the build.
Finally, we install the steel reinforcement and pour the concrete to form the completed ring beam or raft. In most cases, the structure is ready for building to commence within just 24 hours — allowing your project to move ahead without costly delays.
Our process is designed to save developers and contractors both time and money, while delivering sustainable, eco-friendly foundations that meet every regulation. It’s a smarter way to build, keeping projects on track and on budget.
