Precast Concrete Ground Beams
One of the biggest advantages of using precast concrete ground beams is that they are quick and easy to install and are far less dependent on weather conditions. Traditional foundations require significant preparation work and where ground conditions are not optimal this can result in unexpected foundation issues and increased costs, as well as delays to the project.
Where the soil bearing capacity is poor precast concrete ground beams offer far more certainty in terms of cost for the reasons outlined above.
By being manufactured in factory-controlled conditions the amount of waste is reduced and a highly consistent product is delivered, time after time. Construction deadlines can be more easily met as the production of the foundations is not reliant on the weather.
By using a precast concrete ground beam the bearing level will be known and exact, which means that when installed there will be far less levelling up required for the following trades.
Ground beams can be installed where existing ground levels are uneven and can be raised or lowered to avoid the need to reposition live underground services which can be an extremely costly process.
Ground beams are easy to offload and install and come with cast-in lifting anchors.
KEY FEATURES OF GROUND BEAMS
- Quick off-loading and installation
- Designs and dimensions specified to suit the project
- Standard dimensions available
HANDLING AND INSTALLATION OF GROUND BEAMS
Beams are delivered and offloaded using proprietary cast-in lifting anchors. The beams are then lifted into their final position.
