Our Products
The Hiper product range is award-winning, patented and multi-functional. Its primary purpose is to provide traditional foundation support while significantly reducing material volumes (concrete and steel) and associated embodied carbon. The unique hollow core enables efficient geo-energy exchange and thermal energy storage, and improves performance under tension and/or lateral loading.
1) Lower carbon footprint – Our piled foundation solutions typically cut embodied carbon in deep foundations by 20–30%.
2) Operational flexibility and efficiency – We enable energy storage in the ground, helping balance heating and cooling cycles while reducing operational carbon and costs.
3) Innovative thermal pile system – Our next-generation thermal energy pile avoids common issues by separating pipe installation from piling and groundworks, ensuring a reliable, fully functional thermal foundation system.
These innovations are summarised as follows:
(H) Hollow – Reduces material use and embodied carbon
(I) Impression Enhanced – Improves design performance while reducing material use
(P) Precast – Adopts DfMA (Design for Manufacture and Assembly) to optimise material use
(E) Energy generation – Uses the hollow void for energy generation and storage
(R) Reusable – Enables circular and extendable foundations
