What is groundwork?

Groundwork is the work done to prepare a site for construction above and laying a stable foundation to support the structure itself. This includes clearing and levelling the area, assessing soil conditions, and installing drainage to prevent water issues. Foundations, typically made of concrete, are tailored to the building’s needs as well as the ground underneath to work with soil conditions and any existing pipes or culverts. Groundwork also involves setting up utility lines for electricity, water and gas then compacting the soil to ensure stability. Proper groundwork is vital for the safety and durability of the building. Without good care taken groundworks, the foundation of the building would be too weak.

Why do I need to care about groundworks?

Groundworks are important because they prepare your site and create a strong, stable foundation for your steel building. Without proper groundwork, your building could face problems like uneven settling, water damage, or structural issues over time. It’s the first step to ensuring your building is safe, secure, and built to last.

Description

What does this groundworks service include?

We aim to provide the right services for your project, these services can include:

Excavation

Preparing the site by removing soil or debris to create a level and stable base. This may also include excavating pads for the slab.

Stoning

Laying crushed stone to improve ground stability and drainage before foundation work. This helps level the ground with different size stones, so that weight of the slab, or other material is evenly distributed across the ground.

Shuttering

Installing frames to shape and support the poured concrete slab until it sets.

Slab Reinforcement

Adding steel reinforcement mesh to strengthen concrete slabs and prevent cracking in different weather conditions.

Damp Proofing

Applying a protective layer to prevent moisture from the ground seeping into the foundation which could weaken the slab.

Concrete Pouring

Pouring and spreading concrete to form the foundation or other structural elements.

Finishing

Smoothing and levelling the concrete surface for a clean and even finish. This create a beautiful polished effect that works great as a workspace floor.

Entry Ramps

Constructing ramps for smooth and durable access to the structure.

Brickwork/Blockwork

Building walls or other structural components with bricks or blocks, whether this is for internal use, or externally.

Drainage

Installing systems to manage water runoff and prevent pooling or foundation damage.
