Data-led foundation planning for optimal screw selection and structural reliability
At D Page Contractors, our site surveys and load testing services ensure that every ground screw we install is tailored to the real-world conditions of your site. By combining field data with engineering requirements, we eliminate guesswork and reduce risk—laying the groundwork for long-term performance.
Site Surveys
Site assessments tailored to your project’s needs.
For certain projects—especially larger or more complex builds—we recommend a site survey to accurately evaluate ground conditions. A site survey helps identify:
- Soil type and density
- Presence of obstructions or services
- Project-specific foundation considerations
This detailed groundwork supports precise screw selection and placement. However, smaller or straightforward projects may not require this step. Our team will advise whether a survey is recommended based on your specific circumstances.
Load Testing
Using specialist testing rigs, we simulate the forces your structure will apply to the foundation. This allows us to:
- Verify the load-bearing capacity of the ground
- Produce data to support structural engineering requirements
- Validate screw suitability under real-world conditions
We follow British standards and industry best practices to ensure consistency and safety.
Why It Matters
- Accurate Screw Selection – No overspecifying or underspecifying
- Increased Structural Safety – Verified performance before build
- Data-Driven Recommendations – Not just best guesses
Ideal For
- Architects and structural engineers requiring validated site data
- Commercial contractors planning multi-phase or complex builds
- Homeowners seeking peace of mind for garden rooms or annexes
