Raft Foundation

Reinforced slab foundation - also known as Raft Foundation is a reinforced concrete slab under the whole of a building or extension, 'floating' on the ground as a raft floats on water. This type of foundation spreads the load of the building over a larger area than other foundations, lowering the pressure on the ground and is constructed on mechanically compacted levelled hardcore sub-base.

We can construct any size or shape Reinforced Slab Foundations.

Our foundations are built to current regulations and standards.

Mundic Foundation Replacement

We specialise in safe Mundic replacement in Cornwall.

Mundic foundations/Mundic block was a concrete comprised of waste mining material combined with aggregates and beach sand used historically in the Cornwall area. Also known as Mundic block, this has now been found to deteriorate over time and break down, sometimes referred to as concrete cancer. If a property has been constructed using this, potential buyers will be unsuccessful in getting a mortgage while this is in place. We can successfully excavate down, remove this and replace it with a new fit for purpose modern concrete foundation to your property. All works will be engineer designed and passed through building control.

Please contact us for further Information.

Mini Piles

Mini piling, also known as micro piling or mini piles, refers to a foundation construction technique involving small-diameter piles that are typically less than 300mm in diameter. These piles are used to support structures in situations where traditional piling methods are impractical.

Mini piling offers a flexible and efficient solution for foundation problems where traditional methods may not be feasible.
