Foundations

With our background in civil engineering, one of our key strengths is our ability to design and construct reinforced concrete tank foundations.

As the concrete foundation also acts as the water retaining tank floor, it is important that this connects flawlessly to the tank shell.

Our combination of tank and foundation ensures full control of this key element, and as such guarantees leak-free storage – something that cannot necessarily be achieved when tank and civil responsibilities are divided.

We have the capability and experience to design and construct foundations to suit any size of tank in any ground conditions.

Our comprehensive civil engineering service includes:

•  surveys and plans of existing sites

•  ground investigations and soils' reports

•  concrete sealing layers over existing structural slabs

•  foundations constructed over green/brown field sites or over prepared sub-base formations.

•  piled foundations for difficult ground conditions

A number of different floor profiles and fixing details are available to suit the specific requirements of each project.
