Applications
While other foundation options exist for modular buildings, Surefoot footings have many advantages that make them the best choice for your next project.
​
1. Speed and Efficiency: An all-in-one footing and tiedown system, Surefoot utilizes steel piles driven directly into the ground, eliminating the need for extensive excavation, concrete pouring, and curing time like traditional foundations. This significantly reduces installation time, accelerating the overall construction process and saving on costs associated with extended project timelines.
2. Cost Savings: Elimination of expensive pull out test & concrete work reduces project cost significantly.
3. Diverse Soil Conditions: Unlike concrete foundations that might struggle with challenging "reactive soils," Surefoot footings effectively handle a wider range of soil types. This increases your options for selecting a suitable building site and potentially avoiding additional soil treatment or foundation modifications that can add time and cost to your project.
4. Minimal Site Disruption or removal of spoil: Our footings are installed using a jackhammer, compared to traditional methods needing heavy machinery, leading to minimal disruption to the building site and removal of spoil.
5. Immediate Load Capacity and Stability: Surefoot boasts immediate load capacity, allowing immediate placement of modular units on the foundation. This accelerates construction and enables faster project completion.
6. Uplift and Compression Resistance: The design of Surefoot footings offers resistance to both upward and downward forces, ensuring long-term stability.
​
1. All-in-one system: Surefoot footings combine the functions of both the footing and the tie-down system, eliminating the need for separate components. This simplifies the construction process and reduces costs.
2. Faster installation: Unlike traditional concrete footings, Surefoot uses steel piles driven into the ground. This significantly reduces installation time and allows for immediate load application, enabling faster construction of the Dome Shelter.
3. Cost-effective: Compared to concrete, our footings are lighter and easier to transport, resulting in lower transportation costs & carbon emissions! Additionally, the elimination of concrete pouring and curing time can also contribute to cost savings.
4. Suitable for various soil types: Surefoot footings are designed to work well with diverse soil conditions, including "reactive soils" which can pose challenges for traditional foundations.
5. Uplift and gravity load resistance: The unique design of Surefoot footings allows them to effectively handle both upward and downward forces acting on the Dome Shelter structure.
1. Engineered for Stability: The T150 acts as a tension foundation, effectively resisting wind uplift and excessive movement. This ensures your solar panels remain secure and functional even in challenging weather conditions.
2. Fast and Efficient Installation: With an average installation time of just 10 minutes per pile, Surefoot significantly reduces installation time and costs compared to traditional concrete methods. This translates to faster project completion and quicker energy production.
3. Adaptable to Diverse Conditions: The T150 accommodates various soil types and climatic ranges, making it suitable for widespread solar panel installations across different geographical locations.
4. Sustainable Choice: Compared to traditional concrete, Surefoot boasts a reduced environmental footprint. It uses less material and eliminates the need for water-intensive curing processes.
5. Durability and Reliability: Surefoot footings are built with high-quality materials to ensure long-lasting performance and minimize the need for future maintenance.
6. Cost-Effectiveness: The efficient installation process and reduced material requirements often equate to significant cost savings compared to traditional alternatives.
