Reinforced Concrete Works

Piled Slabs

Piled slabs are structural concrete floors cast over closely spaced piles, used when ground conditions are weak, compressible, or unstable for ground-supported slabs. They transfer loadings to deeper, firmer soil layers, eliminating issues with settlement, often in industrial, commercial, or residential developments. Also typically used for water tank bases, piled machinery bases and various other infrastructure projects.

Piled slabs are also commonly used to assist with tree protection issues on sites and as a no dig approach.

Piled Ground Beams

Cast in situ ground beams are reinforced concrete structural elements poured either into excavated trenches or above ground shuttering on-site at foundation level to support wall loads and span between piles. We have the ability design and install ground beams in house along with being able to work to engineered designed schemes.

We can also provide our ground beams in above ground shuttering in the form of pecafil, which is ideal for new build sites/developments.

We could not thank Optima enough for everything they have done, this is our first self build, from the first day we contacted Andrew for a quote, Mark and the guys on site to the finished product today. Reliable, professional, informative, they have gone above and beyond. If I could give more stars I would, you won’t be disappointed in choosing these guys for your foundations.

Optima have completed countless jobs for us over the years and are happy to provide technical insight at the design stage. A full detailed design and calculations package makes the process much smoother than having to obtain calculations from an external engineer once piles have been installed. We will be sure to work with optima in future and will always recommend them to anyone whom we produce drawings for.
