Types of Concrete Foundations We Offer

Slab-on-Grade Foundations

A slab-on-grade foundation is one of the most common types used in residential buildings. This type of foundation involves pouring a single layer of concrete directly onto the ground. This method is typically used in warmer climates where ground freezing is not a concern.

How It's Made:

  1. Site Preparation: The ground is leveled, and any vegetation or debris is removed.
  2. Gravel Base: A layer of gravel is laid down to improve drainage and prevent moisture from seeping into the concrete.
  3. Formwork and Reinforcement: Wooden forms are set up to shape the edges of the slab, and steel reinforcing bars (rebar) are placed within the form to add strength.
  4. Pouring Concrete: Concrete is poured into the forms and evenly spread using a screed.
  5. Finishing and Curing: The surface is smoothed, and the concrete is allowed to cure and harden over several days.


Frost-Protected Shallow Foundations

Ideal for colder climates, frost-protected shallow foundations prevent frost heave by incorporating insulation around the foundation. This technique allows for a shallower depth, reducing excavation costs and labor.

How It's Made:

  1. Excavation and Leveling: A shallow trench is dug, and the ground is leveled.
  2. Insulation Installation: Rigid foam insulation is placed around the perimeter of the foundation to protect against frost.
  3. Formwork and Reinforcement: Forms and rebar are set up as with slab-on-grade foundations.
  4. Pouring Concrete: Concrete is poured into the forms, covering the insulation and filling the trench.
  5. Finishing and Curing: The concrete is smoothed and left to cure, ensuring it gains the necessary strength.

T-Shaped Foundations

T-shaped foundations are used in areas with a high water table or where the soil is prone to movement. This type of foundation provides additional support with a concrete footing below the frost line, and a T-shaped wall on top of the footing.

How It's Made:

  1. Footing Excavation: A trench is dug to the required depth, usually below the frost line.
  2. Footing Construction: Concrete footings are poured at the bottom of the trench to provide a sturdy base.
  3. Wall Formwork and Reinforcement: Forms and rebar are set up for the vertical wall above the footing.
  4. Pouring Concrete: Concrete is poured into the forms to create the walls.
  5. Finishing and Curing: The concrete is finished and left to cure, resulting in a robust foundation.


Monolithic Foundations

Monolithic foundations, also known as monolithic slab foundations, are poured all at once, creating a single, continuous slab that includes both the floor and the foundation. This type of foundation is commonly used for garages, patios, and small buildings.

How It's Made:

  1. Site Preparation: The ground is leveled and cleared of debris.
  2. Formwork and Reinforcement: Forms and rebar are set up to shape the slab.
  3. Pouring Concrete: Concrete is poured in one continuous process, including the footings and the slab.
  4. Finishing and Curing: The surface is smoothed, and the concrete is allowed to cure over several days.
