Complete construction and foundation solution

Fast and accurate insertion of ground screw

Statistically tested and certified by independent testing institutions for load, pull and wind load according to stringent guidelines

Easy to install – easy to plan

Sustainable ground engineering – no sealing or covering of surface or negative impact on landscape
