Steel Foundations – HE
GroundPlug® HE
GroundPlug® HE
Foundation for large horizontal loads
- A steel beam in HE profile (typically HEB/HEA) with extra wings on the sides, which is driven into the ground with a standard excavator.
- Unique bolt group and base plate with high adjustment for mounting the column.
- The columns for e.g. the noise barrier are mounted with threaded rods on the adjustable base plate.
- Any panels can then be mounted.

DOCUMENTATION
ALL STEEL FOUNDATIONS FROM GROUNDPLUG ARE BASED ON CALCULATIONS IN ACCORDANCE WITH:
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 AND PRACTICAL TESTS:
- ASTM Standard Designation (ASTMD1143, ASTM D3689, ASTM D3966) of pressure, tension and horizontal load on single screw foundations. 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) and national annexes. Calculations can also be based on applicable American and Australian Design Standards.
