RC Slabs

There are several options we can offer when it comes to slab foundations. Where we are using reinforced concrete for construction, we can use slabs as alternative foundation to ground beams and being narrower, they offer a solution where depth might be an issue. Reinforced concrete slabs are used to provide structural floor support to a foundation and may also include reinforced steel mesh for strength. Concrete floor slabs are used to provide flat floors.

The process involves making a concrete base using layers of reinforcement being placed onto the piles and framework of a properties structure. Concrete is then poured onto the slabs and levelled, which provides an even base to build upon. The thick, large concrete slabs are then supported by concrete planks, the ground, load-bearing walls, beams or columns.

The two most common methods for slabs are one way and two-way slab. These will depend on the reinforcement required along with beam support and the span length.

When it comes to foundations, our reputation is as solid as concrete..

We’re finding that with land at a premium, more and more developers or property owners are looking to optimise their use of land by creating basements. This inevitable means working next to existing buildings and a subtle approach is required, generating minimal vibrations and noise.
