KRINNER foundation screws, also known as ground screws, allow for quick installation and offer structural capabilities comparable to traditional foundations and piles.

KRINNER Ground Screw Code

Each KRINNER ground screw has a structured product code that indicates its exact specifications:

  • Series (KSF, KSF E, etc.) – Defines the screw type (Eccentric system, Flange, Thread fastening, Conical plastic, etc.).
  • Shaft diameter (e.g., 140 mm) – The main body diameter of the screw.
  • Nominal length (e.g., 1300 mm) – The total length of the screw.
  • Further specification (e.g., E76, R, P, M) – Additional details such as adjustment diameter, flange type, torque, or thread design.
  • Optional suffix (e.g., -100) – Number and size of lateral threads or other specific features.

This system ensures that each screw can be precisely identified and matched to its application, whether for foundations, extensions, or special constructions.

G Series

The G-series ground screws are equipped with either one, three or four threaded screws. They are ideally suited for the quick, vertical and permanent installation of masts and fence posts, for example. Optionally, the fence posts, for example, can also be quickly and permanently fixed into place with the special granulate.

E Series

The E-series ground screws can be optionally equipped with an excentre set depending on the application. The excentre set allows you to make precise adjustments and ensures a perfect, vertical positioning of the object that you want to install. The system is particularly suitable for the resonance and vibration dampening installation of poles and masts for example.

F Series

The F-series ground screws are equipped with round or square flanges. The fixation of the bearing object made possible by this ensures the highest possible stability and safety, even with large or extreme structural loads.

M Series

The M-series ground screws have a centred M-thread which allows the object that is to be carried to be directly screwed onto the ground screw. They are particularly suitable for constructing prefabricated garages and containers, for example.

V Series

Our V-series ground screws are extendable. The ground screws can be extended according to the project requirements and were specially developed for projects with high loads. The products V89, V114 and V140 come with DIBt-approval.

U Series

The U-series ground screws have been specially designed for all regularly-dimensioned timber beams. They are perfect for the simple and fast mounting of horizontal and vertical timber beams, for example during carport and wooden terrace construction.

APPLICATIONS

You can apply it in many places

One solution for many areas: construction, roads, fences and leisure.

Ecological

Ground screws protect the environment both during installation and after use. Earthmoving is eliminated, and the foundation can be removed without leaving any residue.

Efficient

The installation process is significantly faster than with conventional foundation solutions. Individual foundations can be constructed in just a few minutes, and a house foundation often becomes a one-day construction site.

Secure

Built on the age-old and proven principle of pile foundations, the screw foundation provides a secure foundation solution. It can bear loads that are in no way inferior to those of a conventional concrete foundation.

Frequently asked questions

Ground screws are made from steel and are mostly galvanised components for foundation construction. They are driven into the ground either manually or with a ground screw driver. During the driving in, the surrounding soil is pushed to the sides and compressed. This is how the ground screw is stabilised and can bear the same loads as conventional concrete foundations.

Ground screws only work as foundations after they have been driven into the ground. For this reason, the soil composition is a crucial factor when it comes to ensuring the stability of the foundations. Our products can be used in almost all types of substrate, even in rock. However, a pre-drilled hole is needed here. Our products cannot be used in aggressive or contaminated soils. A geological survey (soil survey) can give an insight into the soil composition and the load-bearing capacity of the substrate. This must be consulted during the foundation planning. Chemical soil analyses, which are often part of the geological survey, provide important data about the aggressiveness of the soil.

The quantity and type of ground screw needed depends on the composition of the soil and the load that will be placed on the ground screws. Our sales team and operators can advise you in this area.
There are different screw drivers that can be used depending on the type of ground screw used. They range from electric hand-held ground screw drivers, to hydraulic screw driving vehicles or add-ons for caterpillars and other construction machines. Here at Krinner, we develop and manufacture our own screw drivers and other devices. For small ground screw foundations it is also possible to manually drive the screws in with a crank.
In principle, yes. For less challenging applications that do not require a structural analysis to be performed beforehand, you can carry out the installation yourself either manually with a screw-in rod or you can rent a ground screw driver from one of our sales partners. For challenging applications (like building foundations for a residential building) you must seek advice and help from an expert.
No, the foundation system can be installed without needing to move any earth or do any concrete work. In addition, the area surrounding your construction site remains largely undamaged as despite being powerful, the ground screw drivers are small, light and easy to manoeuvre. You can find out more about the advantages of our ground screws here.
In principle you can reuse the ground screws, provided that they are not damaged. This needs to be assessed on a case-by-case basis. If the ground screw cannot be used again, it can be recycled and therefore disposed of in a sustainable way.
To ensure a proper planning of the foundations, a geological survey (soil survey) must be carried out so that you can get an insight into what the soil composition is like. A foundation plan is then created using the results from this survey and the requirements of the load (vertical and horizontal) that will be placed on the foundations. After this, a load-bearing test is carried out at the construction site to check that the product is suitable for the intended application. Only after these steps have been taken can the ground screw foundation be installed. Often, this doesn’t take longer than a day and the load can be placed on the foundations immediately. You can find a detailed overview of the project process here.
