Foundation Pads for Ground Stabilisation of modular buildings.
The durable and hardwearing Foundation Pads are weatherproof, rot-free, frost- and UV-resistant! They’re long-lasting and ideal for use in a variety of environments and weathers, which are reusable for several years.
Foundation pads can withstand heavy loads of up to 45 tonnes (depending on ground conditions) and are stackable to achieve a more accurate level or height adjustments.
In comparison to traditional solutions such as concrete or wooden products, these Foundation Pads will never rot, crack, splinter, or split and are 60% lighter than concrete, with many health and safety benefits.
Further benefits of our Foundation Pads to concrete pads
Manufactured from 100% recycled plastic material, which would otherwise go to landfills and can be recycled after use.
Concrete, on the other hand, must be smashed and removed in chunks at the end of life.
The recycled Foundation Pads are weight tested to 45 tonnes, so the weight transferred from the fully loaded container to the support pad of 3,800 kg is easily accommodated.
On the other hand, concrete (depending on the type chosen) states similar loading figures, but this is the strength of the concrete rather than the actual load capacity; many of these support just 750 kg.
Connection methods are far easier with the recycled pads due to the integrated locking holes in opposite corners, so for multiple stacked situations, two simple rebar lengths keep the stack stable and secure. Whereas, concrete pads rely on their own weight to stack onto one another to build up multiple layers of support, and these stacks can be accidentally dislodged by passing impact.
Shipping costs are far less with our Foundation Pads due to a much lighter weight and can be rough handled during offloading without breakages and are impervious to water penetration, making them safe during freeze-thraw cycles.
