Reinforced Concrete Foundations
Reinforced concrete is the process of casting concrete around a cage of steel reinforcement, using formwork as the ‘mould’. The steel reinforcement gives the concrete additional strength to bear the loads required for building works.In association with the installation of the piled element of a foundation system, All Foundations provide the ‘complete package’ by designing and constructing the associated reinforced concrete foundations works.
Our range of reinforced concrete foundations schemes include:
- Ground beams
- Pile caps
- Raft slabs
- Retaining walls
- Capping Beams
- Beam and block flooring
- Pre-case concrete planks
