PILE REINFORCED CONCRETE SLAB OR SUSPENDED CONCRETE SLAB
PILED REINFORCED SUSPENDED CONCRETE SLABS ARE SUPERB FOR BUILDING IN TREE PROTECTION ZONES AND ARE HIGHLY RECOMMENDED BY ARBORICULTURISTS. PILED REINFORCED CONCRETE SLABS ARE MORE SUITED TO EXTENSIONS AND GROUNDS WITH MADE UP GROUND, TREE ROOT ISSUES AND AS A WATER BUILD OVER SOLUTION.

THE PROCESS
We will work to the structural engineer’s design and calculations for your project which will determine the pile size, quantity and an individual load per pile, to ensure that the structure is correctly supported. The ground will be prepared and pile positions marked out and then each helical screw pile is installed with a digger mounted or hand-held torque head.
During installation a gauge constantly measures and monitors the resistance; our installation team will use these readings to reach the required load for each individual pile. On the suspended slab a void former is fitted before laying a membrane. Piles are topped and steel reinforced mesh is fitted before the concrete slab is poured.
Once cured the slab is ready for the super structure. The readings during installation are logged and this forms the pile log that we provide you with which confirms that the piles have been installed to the structural engineers plans and calculations, buildings regulations will require this.
THE ADVANTAGES
The advantages are many; there is no excavation required thus no muck away and our handheld installation option allows for installation in small spaces or sites with limited access.
There is little noise or ground disturbance and they can be installed into most ground types. A piled reinforced suspended concrete slab is an ideal system for both made up ground and areas with trees as there is no weight directly put onto the tree’s root systems and it allows for ground movement.
The screw piles are extremely shrub and tree friendly as the slender shaft causes virtually no damage to the root systems and are therefore highly recommended by arboriculturists. We offer different sized piles to suit your required loadings.
