Heavy duty earth anchors manufactured in St. Louis, MO using 100% domestically produced HSLA steel.
Heavy Duty Ground Screw Anchors for Any Application
BDI ground screw anchors are designed to withstand the most demanding applications. These no-dig ground screws eliminate the need for concrete foundations, providing a faster, cleaner installation for solar farms, post anchors, signage, and more. Pair them with our A-frame support structures and accessories for a complete foundation system. Our manufacturing process combines 80 years of tube fabrication expertise with rigorous quality control.
Also known as earth screws, soil screws, or ground anchor stakes, our products are manufactured using HSLA (High-Strength Low-Alloy) steel formulated by USA steel mills. This ensures consistent quality and compliance with domestic content requirements for IRA tax credit eligibility.
