Constructions without flooring on a horizontal wooden structure

This solution relies on installing foundation screws beneath the edge of the construction.
It is particularly straightforward as the foundation screws and connectors are distributed beneath the base beams of the walls.
This makes it possible to carry out any necessary adjustments.
It is ideal for lightweight constructions without flooring.

Advantage 1: The foundations only require two different parts: one foundation screw and one connector.
Advantage 2: Leaves the ground inside the construction completely intact.

Wooden construction Horizontal structure

This solution is carried out in 5 steps:

1. Making holes in the ground

2. Installing foundation screws

3. Installing connectors

4. Installation of the top structure

5. Installation of the construction

Step 1: Making holes in the ground

It is essential to first make a hole in the ground as this ensures that the screw will penetrate well into the soil.
Lubrication helps to position the foundation screw.

Step 2: Installing foundation screws

Our portable electric machines, in combination with a laser transmitter and receiver, are used to install the screws in a level position and do not require any specific actions.

Step 3: Installing connectors

Precise alignment and levelling are achieved with the aid of connectors so that they are accurately positioned beneath the vertical loads of the future construction.

Step 4: Installation of the top structure

The wooden structure is installed and bolted to the connectors with the aid of wood screws.

Step 5: Installation of the construction

The final step of this solution consists of installing the construction on the structure with the aid of wood screws.
The foundation screws bear the load of the construction therefore their dimensions must be calculated taking into account the permanent loads and service loads.
