Why choose concrete blinding over piling mats?
Concrete blinding offers a more sustainable cost effective solution for foundation installation over the traditional piling mat. Explore the top four reasons to choose concrete blinding below:
Compliance with BRE470 Standards
Our concrete blinding platform is compliant to BRE470, the recognised manual for temporary platform design.
Significantly Thinner Application
A key advantage of using concrete blinding is its thickness of only 50mm, compared to the 300mm or more typically associated to traditional granular piling mats. This reduced thickness translates to faster installation, less muck away, reduced material spend and less risk to the project timeline.
Reduced Environmental Impact
By using concrete blinding, you significantly reduce the volume of muck away from the site, whilst substantially reducing the number of vehicles needed to import stone, lowering both disposal costs and the environmental impact.
Lower Plant and Labour Costs
The use of a Concrete blinding platform substantially reduces labour and plant costs associated with excavation, importing aggregates, levelling and compaction and redressing, this resource can be reallocated elsewhere whilst the concrete platform is installed.
