At Foundations and Buildings Limited, we provide a comprehensive range of foundation solutions tailored to suit a wide variety of construction needs. Whether you’re building an agricultural unit, industrial warehouse, or commercial facility, our experienced team ensures each foundation is expertly designed and constructed for maximum stability, durability, and full compliance with all relevant regulations.
Moreover, we offer solutions for all ground conditions. Our services include traditional strip and raft foundations for standard and poor ground, as well as deep foundations such as piled or pads for larger and more complex structures. By working closely with engineers and architects, we deliver reliable foundations that form the critical starting point for your project’s long-term success.
Strip Foundations
Strip groundworks are one of the most common and cost-effective foundation types. They are ideal for supporting load-bearing walls in smaller buildings and extensions. This method involves laying a continuous strip of reinforced concrete in a trench beneath each wall. As a result, it provides stable and durable support where suitable ground conditions exist.
Raft Foundations
Raft groundworks spread the building’s load evenly across a large reinforced concrete slab. This type of foundation is particularly effective on weaker or uneven soils. Consequently, it helps to prevent differential settlement and ensures an even load distribution across the entire structure’s footprint.
Pad Foundations
Raft groundworks spread the building’s load evenly across a large reinforced concrete slab. This type of foundation is particularly effective on weaker or uneven soils. Consequently, it helps to prevent differential settlement and ensures an even load distribution across the entire structure’s footprint.
Ground Beams and Ring Beams
Ground beams connect isolated pads or piles, creating a rigid framework that supports the structure above. Additionally, ring beams may be used to encircle the foundation, offering enhanced reinforcement and stability. This approach is often combined with other foundation types to achieve superior structural performance.
