GroundPlug® PILEX PROTM
GroundPlug® PilexPro™ is our heavy-duty contractor series of screw foundations for professional construction.
TECHNICAL DATA
With PilexPro, you get a solution that is tailored precisely to your project. We have a wide range of products, allowing us to choose between different diameters and combine the screw foundation with extension pieces of any length to achieve the optimal solution for the project. Our engineers calculate exactly what your construction requires.

| Treatment | Galvanised VFZ iht. ISO EN 1461 | Galvanised VFZ iht. ISO EN 1461 | Galvanised VFZ iht. ISO EN 1461 |
| Tension | 6 - 280 kN* | 6 - 300 kN* | 11 - 447 kN* |
| Compression | 6 - 210 kN* | 6 - 230 kN* | 17 - 260 kN* |
*Capacities depend on geotechnical conditions, structural loads and a number of other factors.
We limit delays
Because the foundation process is much faster and more efficient with screw foundations, the
risk of delays is reduced. Our PilexPro™ screw foundations have been developed as a highly flexible assembly series, which allows us to immediately resolve unforeseen issues on the construction site. This means that we do not need to leave a construction site without being able to deliver a completed foundation.
The PilexPro™ screw foundation system is designed to be used in combination with PilexPro™ pile foundations.
We help you access even the worst building locations
Minimal clean-up at the construction site
Screw foundations cause minimal disruption on the construction site. Screw foundations do not generate any soil for disposal, so the time and costs involved in this are minimised. The only soil waste we produce is what we help you to remove, if necessary.
Tested, certified and approved for building damage insurance
Our foundations are ISO certified, CE marked, FEM analysed and field tested. And because our engineering team calculates construction projects, including all loads, in accordance with EuroCode, our screw foundations are among the few ones that are covered by building damage insurance.
INSTALLATION
GROUNDPLUG PILEXPRO CAN EITHER BE INSTALLED BY GROUNDPLUG'S COMPETENT INSTALLATION TEAM OR WE CAN SUPPORT YOU OR YOUR CONTRACTOR IN INSTALLING IT YOURSELF.
DOCUMENTATION
ALL STEEL FOUNDATIONS OFFERED BY GROUNDPLUG ARE BASED ON CALCULATIONS USING:
EN 1990, EN 1991-1-1, EN 1991-1-3, EN 1991-1-4,EN 1991-2, EN 1993-1-1, EN 1993-1-3, EN, 1993-1-5,EN 1993-1-8, EN 1993-1-9, EN 1993-5, EN 1997-1,EN 1997-2, EN 1794-1.
ANALYTICAL CALCULATIONS & PRACTICAL TESTS:
- ASTM Standard designation (ASTMD1143, ASTM D3689, ASTM D3966) for compression, tension and lateral load on individual piles. Performed by Applied Foundation Testing (AFT), USA, and CLTTHOMPSON INC, USA.
- NIRAS capacity and soil calculations, verified by LPILE by Ensoft Inc.
Our engineering team can provide design documentation for any structure based on European design standards (Eurocodes 0-9) with applicable national annexes. Calculations can also be performed based on applicable American and Australian design standards.
