Ground Beams Norfolk, NR1
Ground Beams Norfolk
Ground beams are used in Norfolk to support brickwork and blocks. They are typically made of concrete and are an alternative to trench foundations. The method includes excavation of a shallower trench, inserting choice of shuttering and installation of the beam reinforcement cage, this will then be tied into the pile reinforcement if this is present. The trench will then be poured with concrete. This is an excellent choice of foundation for projects that cannot have traditional trench footings, whether that is due to ground conditions or due to services running through the foundation footprint.
We have many years experiencing constructing ground beams in Norfolk for projects of all sizes and all over the country.

Precast concrete ground beams Norfolk
Precast concrete ground beams in Norfolk can be used to create a permanent shutter that surrounds the perimeter of a building. This will simplify the pouring process of concrete floors. The precast beams are also used as a base to build brick or block walls. The ground beams are easy to install, and similar to prestressed panels they span between steel columns or concrete pads foundations. The beams sit directly on top of the pad foundations and no additional support is required under the units.
The ground beams are custom-made to suit each project. The profile will vary based on the surcharge capacity, and the distance between foundations. The beams are manufactured in two profiles, with a toe, so the units will be self-supporting when installed, sometimes called boot-beams or as flat panels. The beam thickness can be adjusted to suit the loading and the chamfers in the top edge.
Piling
With years of experience, we are ready for ANY type piling work. We do Mini Piling, CFA Piling, Secant Wall, Open Bore Piling, Contiguous Bored Pile, Pile Design, and King Post.
RC Slabs
Where we are using reinforced concrete for construction, we can use slabs as alternative foundation to ground beams. Being narrower, they offer a solution where depth might be an issue.
