Screw piles for a residential project, West Bridgeford, Nottingham

The project involves assessing the line loads imposed by the superstructure and designing a foundation system comprising pile beams and screw piles tailored to the specific site conditions. The building is a single-story residential structure situated on clay soil characterized by a high plasticity index, which poses challenges such as potential soil movement and reduced load-bearing capacity. The scope includes analyzing the structural loads, evaluating soil behavior under varying conditions, and engineering a foundation solution that ensures stability and durability. This includes the design of pile beams to distribute loads effectively and screw piles to provide deep anchorage, addressing the unique demands of the soil profile
