Substructure reinforcement, right below ground.

Reinforcement to foundations, rafts, pile caps, ground beams and basements, getting the structure right below ground before the frame goes up. We fix the heavy, congested steel in the substructure accurately and to programme, ready for inspection and the pour.

Questions

Substructures & Groundworks, answered

Do you fix heavily congested substructure steel?

Yes. Pile caps, rafts and ground beams often carry very dense reinforcement, and we fix it accurately to drawings with the correct laps, links and covers, ready for inspection.

Can you set starter bars for the frame above?

Yes. We set column and wall starters accurately in the substructure pour so the reinforced-concrete frame lands true off the foundations.

Do you work to basements and retaining walls?

Yes. We fix reinforcement to basement slabs and retaining walls against sheet-piled and secant piled walls, sequencing the work around the temporary and permanent works.

Do you cover supply as well as fixing below ground?

Yes. We can supply the cut and bend reinforcement and mesh for the substructure as well as fix it, as a single package to your groundworks programme.
