Time is money. We respect both.
When a factory, warehouse or works has to close all or part of its operation for an extension, alteration or upgrade, every lost shift counts. We provide the most economical engineered solution for the restrictions you’re working with, whether that’s restricted access, a tight timescale or out-of-hours working.
Our industrial work includes an industrial unit extension in Glasgow, an industrial unit in Barking, mezzanine floor foundations in a Derby warehouse, a works unit at a potash mine and a hydro-electric station in York.
- Inside live buildingsCompact and low-headroom rigs that work within existing structures.
- Out of hoursOut-of-hours working where your operation can’t stop.
- Heavy loadsPiles, caps and ground beams designed for slabs, racking, mezzanines and plant.
On industrial sitesWhat we plan for
Heavy loads. Tight windows.
Industrial schemes push foundations hard. These are the pressures we design around from day one.
Floor and racking loads
High-bay racking, mezzanines and heavy plant put large point loads into the ground. We size piles and caps to carry them without settlement.
RC foundations →Restricted access
Low roofs, doorways and working round machinery. Mini piling rigs fit where full-size rigs can’t.
Mini piling →Brownfield ground
Old industrial sites often hide made ground, obstructions and old foundations. We choose a method that copes with what’s down there.
Driven piling →Typical servicesFor industrial projects
The right method for the site.
Every scheme is different, so we recommend a solution once we’ve seen your ground investigation and loads.
Flexible construction packagesYour project, your way
Let’s get your project off the ground.
We can deliver the full package below ground, from design calculations and mini piling to reinforced concrete works, or install piles to your own engineer’s design. Either way, your building gets foundations that stand the test of time.
