As well as Piling Northern Piling are happy to price and carry out installation of a ground beam solution.
Following completion of the piling works we can then carry out installation of a ground beam solution to provide a platform for further superstructure construction
Precast Ground Beam
Precast ground beams are cast to the required lengths in an off-site factory and brought to site where they are then lowered into place, spanning between the tops of piles. Small in situ concrete 'stitches' are used to connect the beams securely to each other and the piles
The main advantage of precast beams is that they are much quicker for a large project and they can be cheaper on projects with many duplications of house types, such as social housing
This is a highly engineered foundation solution offering an alternative solution to in situ ground beams. A non-weather dependant solution designed to improve installation time whilst minimising waste
This solution compliments all our piling techniques
Cast In Situ Ground Beam
The advantages of cast in situ beams over precast are mainly lower cost and improved flexibility, especially if the piles are deflected out of tolerance. Cast in situ beams are often quicker for smaller contracts, as there is a much shorter lead time. However, if lead time is not an issue then precast concrete can be quicker for a large project with many duplications of housing types.
