Reinforced Concrete Foundations, Designed With Your Piles
As well as screw piles, we design and build the reinforced concrete foundations that go with them, so one team is responsible for your project from the ground up.
A reinforced foundation spreads the weight of a building evenly across the piles or the ground beneath it. Steel reinforcement is fixed to the engineer's design, and the concrete is poured and finished to the levels your builder needs.
Where the ground is firm enough, a reinforced slab or raft can be used on its own. Where it isn't, we combine it with screw piles, so the load is carried down to firmer ground.
- Reinforced ground slabs
- Concrete ground beams
- Rafts and pile caps
- Bases for garden rooms and outbuildings
Where they are used
Reinforced Foundations For Every Kind Of Build
From a garden office to a tank base on a commercial site, the foundation is designed for the load it has to carry.
Garden rooms and outbuildings
Level, reinforced bases for garden rooms, offices, garages, workshops and summer houses.
Commercial and agricultural buildings
Slabs, rafts and ground beams for units, barns, stores and temporary or modular buildings.
Plant and equipment bases
Pile caps and reinforced bases for tanks, silos, substations, signage and other heavy equipment.
One team, from the ground up
Foundations And Screw Piles, Designed Together
When the piles and the concrete on top of them come from one specialist, the two are designed to work as one. Pile positions, ground beams and slab levels are set out together, so your builder gets a foundation that is ready to build on.

Questions & answers
Reinforced Foundation Questions
Not sure what your project needs? Send us the drawings and we will advise.
0330 043 3216Can a reinforced foundation go on top of screw piles?
Yes, and it often does. Ground beams, pile caps or a raft tie the piles together and spread the load of the building across them. We design and install both, so the two parts are made to work together.
Do I need screw piles, or just a reinforced slab?
It depends on the ground and the load. On firm ground a reinforced slab or raft may be enough on its own. On clay, made ground, near trees or where the water table is high, screw piles carry the load down to firmer ground first. Your structural engineer's design, or our advice, will settle it.
What do you need from me to price a foundation?
