Project Type
Helical Pile Foundations for a Prefabricated Garden Pod in Ireland
Location
Glenbrohane, County Limerick, Ireland
Challenges
The project required a reliable foundation solution for a prefabricated garden pod, with an extremely tight installation schedule.
With delivery planned for the following day, the foundations had to be installed and positioned precisely so the unit could be lifted into place by crane.
A traditional concrete slab was not a viable option, as the required curing time would delay the installation. In addition, the four foundation points had to align accurately with the pod’s support points to ensure a smooth and efficient installation.
Solutions
Techno Metal Post Cork installed four helical piles, each reaching a depth of 6 metres.
Screwed directly into the ground, the piles eliminated the need for concrete pouring and curing, allowing the team to complete the foundations within the required timeframe.
Precise positioning ensured that all four piles aligned with the pod’s support points, ready for delivery and crane placement the following day.
Result / Conclusion
The installation was completed on schedule, providing a stable and accurately positioned foundation for the modular garden pod. The unit could be lifted directly onto the prepared foundations by crane, avoiding delays and keeping the project moving.
This project in Glenbrohane demonstrates how Techno Metal Post offer a fast and reliable solution for a wide range of projects, from modular buildings and prefabricated garden pods to other structures, particularly when deadlines are tight and installation efficiency is essential.
The additional accommodation will form part of the property’s transformation into a pub and B&B, providing overnight stays for visitors.
