I'm just going through a job in Plymouth and the engineer has suggested ground screws to hold the balcony structure steel posts down, meeting on Wednesday on site to look at using ground screws for whole structure, built up ground over solid rock, steep gradient down a valley... if you come this way you're welcome to price it mate once I have engineers details.. Not much help on Paington ground, but maybe another job in Devon! Lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lol Tbh mate were only travelling that far from Kent because its for a Garden building company from Yorkshire that give us loads of work in the south East.Also that sounds like a job that will need larger screws that go in with a ride on machine.The ones we put in are only 90mm circumference and go upto 1.75m long and go in with a hand held machine.More for sitting Timber framed buildings or decked areas etc on.Thanks anyway though. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
