The numbers that should make every construction professional think twice about concrete:
1 tonne of cement = 1.25 tonnes of embedded carbon
20 ground screws = 8.9kg and just 320kg of carbon

The construction industry is under increasing pressure to reduce embodied carbon. Ground screws represent one of the simplest, most immediately deployable ways to do it. No concrete, minimal ground disruption, fully reversible, and faster on programme.
At GBGS we've been making the case for over a decade. The rest of the industry is catching up.
If you're specifying foundations on your next project and want to understand the ground screw option, we'd welcome the conversation.
