Foundations and sloped ground: ensuring structural stability for your project

The success of any building project starts with understanding the ground.

Strong, long-lasting foundations are the key to a stable structure, especially on challenging or sloped terrain. In such conditions, construction becomes more complex: stabilising the ground, managing slippage risks, and ensuring safe access are all essential.

Techno Metal Post’s helical piles are designed to meet the most demanding environments, offering a reliable and stable foundation solution, even where topography and soil conditions present significant challenges.

A suitable solution for every project

On sloping ground, stability is critical. Unlike traditional foundations, helical piles are specifically designed to resist lateral loads, tension, and compression forces.

Depending on the nature of the site, different techniques can be used:

• A second helix can be added to a pile to improve anchoring;
• An angled pile can be installed and welded to a vertical pile to provide added resistance.

If your project involves off-site elements like decks, platforms, or upper floors, diagonal bracing can also be added to strengthen the overall structure.

Engineering support

Every project is different, and our solutions reflect that. Our in-house engineers design each pile system to suit your exact needs, taking into account:

• The type of soil;
• The loads to be supported (vertical, lateral, compression);
• The slope and shape of the ground;
• The materials used in the structure (wood, steel, concrete, etc.).

Based on this data, our engineers determine the right pile diameter, helix type, and required number of piles, always in accordance with current building regulations.

Each foundation is designed to ensure long-term stability, structural safety, and compliance with construction standards.

Fast and controlled installation

Techno Metal Post piles are installed with no digging, no heavy concrete works, and no drying time.

This makes the process faster, cleaner, and less weather-dependent than traditional methods.

Using compact, purpose-built machines, our certified installers can work on all types of ground, including slope sites.

Each pile is screwed into the ground until it reaches the exact load-bearing capacity defined in the engineering study.
