The STEELROOT® Patented Foundation System was developed to address the need for cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternatives to concrete foundations for various applications. Leveraging over 30 years of experience in the public construction and civil engineering market, the development of SFS focused on creating a mechanical foundation that could be installed quickly and provide reliable stability across different soil types without requiring grout curing.
This innovative foundation system, which can be installed using a simple hammering machine, is suitable for a wide range of applications, including ground-mounting structures for photovoltaic panels, solar trackers, micro-generation projects (wind and solar), traffic signs and portals, modular buildings, urban furniture, and more.
Each STEELROOT® foundation can be tailored to meet specific needs. We offer versatile solutions adaptable to diverse project requirements.
With the Steelroot™ patented foundation system you can reduce costs and uncertainty in the installation process of your infrastructure. Small construction teams of 2 can deliver high turnover of up to 8 foundations per hour (depending on soil conditions).
Through its double plate adjustment system Steelroot™ foundations guarantee perfect alignments, even in the worst soil
conditions.
With the STEELROOT® Foundation System you can be cost and business efficient in the installation process of your infrastructure.
