RapidStump

Market-Leading Concrete-Free Foundation System

RapidStump is a ground-breaking hybrid "all-in-one" steel footing and stump system. Once piles are secured to the sleeves, the opposing forces of the multidirectional piles provide a solid, stable, and economical foundation.

Engineered using piling technology with a combination of skin friction and bearing to achieve load capacity across various soil types. The system is designed to increase its efficiency when resisting gravity, uplift, shear, and moment loads.

1

Soil Test

A soil test is carried out to obtain an engineered and certified footing solution for your site.

2

Submit Plans

Submit your soil test and full structural plans so the footing design and certification can be issued.

3

Survey Site

Site is surveyed and pegged out according to the building and footing plans.

4

Place Footings

Footings are placed in the required positions and installation commences.

5

Jack Hammer Piles

Rapid Piles are driven into the ground with a jackhammer to the required depth as specified by the engineer.

6

Install Tops & Connectors

Once the RapidStump is in place, the relevant tops and connectors are installed.

7

Get Certification

Engineer's inspection is completed to obtain an installation certification.

8

You're All Set

RapidStump has instant load-bearing capability — start building immediately with zero downtime.

Efficient & Economical

RapidStump footings offer a compelling alternative to traditional concrete footings and bored piers, and a more efficient and economical option in the micro-pile driven category. The distinctive shape and robust steel construction combine to form an exceptionally efficient footing and stump solution.

All RapidStumps are made with C350 steel. The micropile guides are custom made to suit the micropile. BMSA's footing system is customised for each job, taking into account site soil conditions and structural design loads.

Design capacity calculations are based on the working stress method, using refined geotechnical data obtained over time for skin friction and bearing pressure. RapidStump footings defy classification as either shallow or deep footings, belonging instead to a ground-breaking "hybrid" category.

Tailored to the soil conditions of your site, the RapidStump system is versatile, meeting all compliance and regulatory standards for a wide array of projects including decks, sheds, houses, transportable buildings, shipping containers and more.
