SPEEDECK’s use of reinforced concrete foundations (RC) has many advantages for any design and build project. It is fast and versatile to construct, and through our finite element analysis we are able produce optimal reinforcement outputs. This means that the substructure design can be perfected for each individual project or plot.
Reinforced concrete is a well-established construction method, valued for its strength, adaptability, and long-term durability. It also offers a cost-effective solution across a range of applications.
When it comes to foundation construction, reinforced concrete delivers exceptional speed, consistency, and dependability, making it a go-to option across the industry.
Reinforced concrete combines the compressive strength of concrete with the tensile strength of steel reinforcement, creating a highly resilient material capable of withstanding both pressure and tension. Because steel and concrete expand and contract at similar rates with temperature changes, the structure remains stable and resistant to cracking or damage.
This durability makes reinforced concrete an ideal choice for foundations exposed to heavy loads or challenging ground conditions.
Our approach to foundation design eliminates the need for deep-trench pile and ground beam systems. By using a more efficient layout and a singular slab design, we reduce concrete usage by up to 25%. With concrete production being a major source of CO₂ emissions, this reduction plays a key role in lowering the overall environmental impact of the project.
Our in-house team of structural engineers and designers produce reinforced concrete foundation designs for housing, apartments, later living developments, schools and education settings and more, in line with current Eurocodes and British standards.
