Structural Design
Foundation Design
For the construction of precast retaining walls, a foundation, or suitable base will be required. We can design site specific reinforced concrete foundations for all of our retaining wall products.
King Post Wall Design
King post retaining walls can be constructed using three types of foundation - Auger, mass concrete or resin anchored to a pad foundation. Our engineers can provide a foundation design of all types.
Bespoke Precast Products
Some projects require a specialist precast solution, such as retaining walls. If our standard products to not meet the design criteria or require additional features, we can also design bespoke products.

Technical Drawing
Product CAD Drawings
Our precast concrete products are available with technical data sheets and .dwg CAD blocks, to enable our products to be incorporated into your construction drawings and designs. For BIM Level 2 projects, please contact us.
Site Layout Drawings
Our CAD technicians and engineers can provide overlay drawings of our products onto your designs. We will ensure correct spacing between precast elements and advice on correct positioning.
Construction Drawings
Our structural design services include providing full construction drawings. The drawings will be based on information from site and the project engineer or from our own surveys if carried out by us.

Site Services
Site Surveys
We can provide a range of site survey services, including; setting out & levels, topographical surveys and complex laser-scanner surveys & modelling. For some of these services we will work with external teams.
Site Supervisors
Our in-house contracts teams include CITB certified - SSSTS (Site Supervisors Safety Training Scheme). All of our site personnel have the relevant skills and training to work on construction projects in the UK.
Site Management
In addition to our site supervisors, we also have site managers with SMSTS (Site Management Safety Training Scheme) certificates. We are committed to providing a safe working environment for our site teams.

Groundwork & Civils
Ground Improvements
If the site ground conditions do not meet the required bearing capacity for our products or structures, we can discuss ground improvement systems, such as; vibro-pilling, vibro-compaction and concrete columns.
Reinforced Foundations
Precast retaining walls will require a suitable foundation, or concrete base to be installed onto. Our contracts team can construct foundations to any design specification that has been provided by a structural engineer.
Concrete Floors
In addition to the groundworks and foundations, we can also pour mass concrete and reinforced concrete floors. Floor slabs can be cast with a specified gradient to enable liquids to flow into a drainage system.

Precast Installation
RAMS & Lift Plans
Risk assessments and methods statements are provided as standard on all our precast installation projects. In addition to this, we also have CPCS certified Appointed Person, Slinger/Signaller & Crane Supervisor to ensure the units are installed safely.
Precast Installation
Our contract teams’ primary function is to provide precast installation services, to our customers for our precast products. Their knowledge and experience in precast installation will ensure the units are installed correctly and that your project is delivered on time.
Coatings & Joint Sealing
Some projects require a specialist coating to be applied to the precast products, if exposed to aggressive materials. Other applications may require joints to be sealed for the containment of liquids. We can supply & apply a range of sealers, mastics & joint sealing systems, to suit.
