1 The concrete free Foundation System MASTS & TURBINES overview

2 Surefoot is at the forefront of design and innovative, environmentally friendly footing systems Engineering Principles Surefoot engineering principles are based on piling technology using a combination of skin friction and bearing to achieve load capacities in various soil types. Design capacity calculations are based on Eurocode methods, using refined geotechnical data, for skin friction and bearing pressure. Surefoot System Surefoot is an all in one system, where the unique shape and high strength steel combines to create a very efficient pile cap. Once piles are driven at angle (raked) and the cap secured, the opposing forces of the multi directional piles provides a solid, stable and economical foundation. The system is designed to increase its efficiency when resisting gravity, uplift, shear and moment loads, providing an exceptional foundation for masts and posts of all sizes and loadings. Our footing system is job specific and is designed according to site soil conditions, and structural design loads etc. Single or combined pile caps The smaller Surefoot models of lower capacity are used in groups of 4 units, joined and locked in place by a structural beam formation and adapter plate to recieve the mast. The larger plates can be used alone or combined in the same way for high load applications. Surefoot has been used in many high bending moment applications and provides a fast and efficient foundation that has instant capacity. Surefoot saves both time and costs. Surefoot adjustable in every direction Surefoot info@surefootfootings.co.uk

4 Basic combined solution SF100x4 4 Way Overview Most basic combined system for small to medium masts System: 4 x SF100 Surefoot pile caps combined with custom structural beam joiner. Adapter plates are made to measure to match standard mast bolt hole distribution. Indivudal pile cap detail: Length: 263mm Width: 263mm Driving pins: 4 x 32NB (nominal bore) 42.4OD Galvanised pipe Medium, Heavy (3,2/4mm) Installation time: Typically less than 1 day with instant load capacity. Height: Weight: Plate thickness: 50mm 5kg approx 6mm S275JR Grade IMPORTANT INFORMATION Capacities are determined by soil type, wind and terrain category as well as associated implied loads of a structure. It is important to note that load capacities will vary depended on the above mentioned factor and differ with each specific application and site specific environment.

5 Combined solution 2 SF300x4 6 Way Overview Similar to solution 1, simply increasing capacity with more piles per plate/cap Indivudal pile cap detail: System: 4 x SF300 Surefoot pile caps combined with custom structural beam joiner. Adapter plates are made to measure to match standard mast bolt hole distribution. Driving pins: 4 x 32NB (nominal bore) 42.4OD Galvanised pipe Medium, Heavy (3,2/4mm) Installation time: Typically less than 1 day with instant load capacity. Length: Width: Height: Weight: Plate thickness: 382mm 382mm 50mm 15kg 10mm S275JR Grade IMPORTANT INFORMATION Capacities are determined by soil type, wind and terrain category as well as associated implied loads of a structure. It is important to note that load capacities will vary depended on the above mentioned factor and differ with each specific application and site specific environment.

6 Commercial SF400/500 8 or 12 Way Use as single base or combined Overview Large plate solution, 8 and 12 pile options, can be used alone for smaller masts or combined for high capacity use. Indivudal pile cap detail: System: 4 x SF400/500 Surefoot pile caps combined with custom structural beam joiner. Adapter plates are made to measure to match standard mast bolt hole distribution. Length: Width: 482mm 482mm Driving pins: 4 x 32NB (nominal bore) 42.4OD Galvanised pipe Medium, Heavy (3,2/4mm) Installation time: Typically less than 1 day with instant load capacity. Height: Weight: Plate thickness: 50mm 25kg 10mm S275JR Grade + 10mm stiffening bar IMPORTANT INFORMATION Capacities are determined by soil type, wind and terrain category as well as associated implied loads of a structure. It is important to note that load capacities will vary depended on the above mentioned factor and differ with each specific application and site specific environment.
