A remarkable new project in Wales has demonstrated how RADIX ground screw foundations can enable sustainable construction even in the most sensitive and technically challenging environments.
Working with RADIX’s authorised installation partner, No More Digging Wales, a 125-metre recycled-plastic boardwalk and a 25-metre steel bridge have been successfully installed across a wetland site, all without excavation or environmental disturbance.
The project showcases the adaptability of RADIX ground screws, which were installed directly into swamp and water conditions to support the entire boardwalk structure. Compression testing was undertaken to verify load capacities, and each foundation was installed using specialist equipment designed for precision placement in variable and waterlogged ground.
Sustainability guided every stage of delivery. The boardwalk and bridge utilised recycled-plastic decking and low-impact materials, while off-site cutting stations ensured all debris was safely contained to protect the surrounding habitat. The result is a durable, low-maintenance structure with a significantly longer lifespan than timber or concrete alternatives, all installed without the need for wet trades or heavy excavation.
Completed in all weather conditions and without delay, the project demonstrates why RADIX ground screw systems are increasingly being specified for eco-infrastructure and community access projects. Combining speed, reliability, and environmental responsibility, the foundation system provided a stable and certifiable base in terrain where traditional methods would have been impractical.This installation underscores the strength of the partnership between RADIX and No More Digging, delivering engineered foundation solutions that enable sustainable development from the ground up.
