If you’re searching for a reliable under pinning bracket in the UK, you’re likely working on a project where existing foundations need extra support. Whether it’s subsidence, an extension, or a structural upgrade, choosing the right underpinning system is key - and it starts with a bracket you can trust.

At ABC Anchors, we keep things simple. We manufacture one proven underpinning bracket, designed specifically to work with our 60R and 76R screw piles, while also being available with or without piles depending on your project needs.


In this video you can see the installation process:



What is an Under Pinning Bracket?

An under pinning bracket is a structural component used to transfer the load of an existing building onto a new support system - typically screw piles. It connects directly to the foundation and allows weight to be redistributed safely into stronger ground below.

In simple terms, it’s the critical link between your structure and its new foundation support.


A Simple, Proven Underpinning Bracket Design

We’ve deliberately focused on one high-performance under pinning bracket rather than multiple variations. Why? Because on site, simplicity matters.


Our bracket is:

This means less time spent figuring out specifications - and more time getting the job done.



Designed to Work with 60R and 76R Screw Piles

Our under pinning bracket is engineered to integrate seamlessly with:

  • 60R screw piles

  • 76R screw piles

When combined, this system creates a fast and effective underpinning solution that transfers loads to deeper, more stable ground.


Why use screw piles with an underpinning bracket?

  • Minimal excavation (no large digs)

  • Fast installation with immediate load-bearing

  • Ideal for restricted access sites

  • Less disruption to surrounding structures
