Project description

A former business partner invited GroundPlug® to Trinidad and Tobago to build smart and solid foundations for several signs. The particular challenges of this project were both the low bearing capacity of the soil and the high wind loads in the area. Here, GroundPlug® was able to develop a solid solution that met the high demands on the foundations.

Installation

The signs in Trinidad and Tobago stand on a hybrid system of two different GroundPlug® foundations. For this project, a GroundPlug® SK Beam structure was combined with 8 GroundPlug® TwisterTM foundations to provide the best possible load transfer. Although the GroundPlug® TwisterTM foundations used in this project were up to 9m long, they could be installed without any previous excavation work. This way, we achieved an easy and fast installation process.
