Housedeck® is a piled raft foundation system for varied ground conditions. Four versions of the system available – all meeting NHBC and LANTAC technical requirements.
Our versatile system means quicker and more cost-effective completion than more traditional methods – there’s no trench to flood with rain water and hold up the work; and little or no spoil is removed from site – an important consideration both on environmental grounds and landfill charges. Another innovative feature of the system is the stainless steel edge, which allows follow-on-trades (such as bricklayers) to start work immediately on a clean, safe surface, significantly improving overall construction time.
Housedeck currently covers buildings up to and including three storeys in height and, unlike pre-cast systems, can accommodate a wide range of variations to the foundation footprint as it is custom designed.
Comdeck is a natural extension of the Housedeck foundation system for the industrial and commercial sectors. Comdeck is designed to support heavier loads such as are typically imposed by retail, industrial and warehousing buildings. The principles, features and benefits of a Comedeck foundation are exactly the same as those of Housedeck. The only differences are that piles tend to have a larger diameter and the slab thickness is between 225 and 300mm with more heavy-duty reinforcing than for Housedeck often being required.
Projects using Comdeck to date have shown significant improvements in construction time and therefore in overall cost for our customers.
The Comdeck foundation system is ideally suited to out-of-town industrial parks, out-of-town warehouse-design shopping centres, distribution centres and warehouses.
