Ground Beams, Floor Stabilisation & Slabs

If you have a project that requires ground beams or floor stabilisation, we can help you. Please find further information regarding our services below or contact us here at Performance Foundations today to discuss your project on 01444 411114 or email and let us come and provide you with a free site survey or quote.

Ground Beams

Here at Performance Foundations we can provide you with traditional or piled ground beams for any building project you may have, such as, an extension, single plot or multiple plots. By having ground beams installed you can improve construction programmes by reducing poor ground conditions.

Ground Beams are designed to support brick/blockwork or to form a permanent shutter to the edge of insitu concrete floor slab. The amount of reinforcement introduced into the design will be used to suit specific loading requirements and the beams can be designed to withstand any heave forces with the use of void forming or compressible materials.

Installation may require piling, then once that is complete we excavate the ground to a width and depth required by your design or shuttered above ground. Reinforcement is then placed and the pile reinforcement tied into the ground beam. After inspection by the relevant authorities the beam will be concreted.

Floor Stabilisation

In situations where industrial floors and yards are subject to excessive loading, we can improve the loadbearing properties of the surface by pile insertion. This is a quick and clean process and causes minimal disruption to your business.

To support existing concrete ground floor slabs, we can install a permanent pile casing in a pre-bored hole to a calculated 'set' to carry the working loads. Piles are installed at designed centres and constructed to support the existing concrete slab by means of an enlarged head at the top of the pile.
