By Wildboar Concrete Free Footings
Here is a snapshot of some of the many modular classroom projects completed over the last year. A typical double classroom install is completed within a day. No council pre pour inspections. Wildboar Footings offer the ability to drive buildings directly onto site and over the footings. This way onsite time for transport companies is dramatically reduced and buildings can be lowered into their final position a fixed down with a couple of hours. No working under buildings after the transporter has gone to dig holes or put in piles.
Wildboar Concrete Free Footings are fully compliant with the NZ building code and are a great alternative to screw pile and concrete. Unlike screw piles a builder can install themselves with no special equipment required, saving time and money. No need to wait for a special installer to come out to site.
With over 250,000 feet installed across Australasia our products are tried and tested. Add to this 5 years worth of paid research and onsite validation testing by the structural teams at Melbourne and Swinburne Universities
Our footings will go in anything from solid rock to soft sand and we have solutions to suit small decks to large multi story buildings. Our foot capacities range from 4kN to 500kN
Wildboar Footings in the only licensed distributor of Surefoot products in the South Pacific. With a network of engineers and installers throughout New Zealand and the Pacific we can offer a full turn key service for foundations from Tiny homes up to Multi story buildings.
We are backed by Surefoot Australia who own all patents and intellectual property globally allowing us full access to the engineering and development team based in Melbourne.
Unlike Screw piles we can install into almost any ground condition from soft sand to hard rock. Making our foundations a very cost effective solution.
The Surefoot concrete free footing system is an “all-in-one system”, where a unique shape and high-strength steel combine to create an efficient pile cap. Once the piles have been driven, and the cap has been secured, the opposing forces of the multi-directional piles provide a stable, robust and economical footing.
The Surefoot system is designed to increase efficiency when resisting uplift, gravity, shear and moment loads. The soil structure ultimately absorbs the applied stress. This footing system is job specific, meaning it will be designed according to your particular site soil conditions, structural design loads etc.
The Surefoot footing system cannot be labelled as either a shallow or deep footing and therefore belongs to a new “hybrid” category of footing.
