Reinforced Concrete Foundations

Reinforced concrete sets and hardens around steel bars, allowing it to withstand significant pressure and tension. The concrete itself provides compressive strength, while the steel bars used for reinforcement add tensile strength.

Steel expands and contracts, depending on the temperature, just as concrete does, which means that it won’t easily become damaged. This combination of strengths makes reinforced concrete a popular choice for foundations that need to withstand excessive pressure or those at risk of geotechnical complications.

Our foundation design eliminates the need for deep trenches filled with concrete for pile and ground beam foundations. We reduce concrete consumption by up to 25% using a more efficient layout and singular slab approach. Given the significant CO2 emissions associated with concrete production, this reduction directly translates to substantially decreasing the project’s carbon footprint.
