Strong foundations.
Minimal environmental impact.

Not every project is suited to traditional foundations. Excavation, concrete deliveries, spoil removal and restricted site access can create unnecessary disruption, increased costs and environmental concerns.

Helical pile foundations offer a modern alternative. Installed directly into the ground using compact equipment, they provide a reliable foundation solution with significantly less excavation, reduced concrete usage and minimal impact on the surrounding environment.

360 GSS designs, supplies and installs helical piling systems for residential, commercial and architectural projects throughout London, Buckinghamshire, Berkshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire, Surrey and the wider UK for suitable projects.

Particularly effective on restricted access sites, waterside developments, environmentally sensitive locations and projects near mature trees, helical piling allows construction to move forward where traditional foundation methods may be impractical or undesirable.

Steelwork Options & Specifications

Helical pile foundations are particularly well suited to:

  • House extensions and home renovations
  • Garden rooms and outdoor buildings
  • Modular and prefabricated buildings
  • Balconies, terraces and elevated structures
  • Retaining walls and landscaping projects
  • Waterside developments near rivers, lakes and canals
  • Projects within Root Protection Zones
  • Sites with restricted or difficult access
  • Conservation areas and protected landscapes
  • Subsidence and remedial foundation projects

Their versatility makes them suitable for projects where minimising disruption, protecting the environment or overcoming site constraints is essential.

What are helical pile foundations?
Helical piles are screw-like foundation elements installed directly into the ground to provide structural support without the need for extensive excavation.
They are particularly effective for extensions, garden rooms, modular buildings, waterside developments, restricted access sites and projects close to mature trees.
Yes. They reduce excavation, minimise spoil removal, require less concrete and create significantly less site disturbance than many traditional foundation methods.
Yes. Their low-impact installation process makes them particularly suitable for projects within or near Root Protection Zones.
Yes. They are commonly used for waterside developments and environmentally sensitive locations where minimising ground disturbance is important.
Each pile can be proof tested during installation, providing confirmation of performance within the site’s actual ground conditions rather than relying solely on assumptions.
