Your Trusted Partner in Rapid Deck System
All our work force have extensive training and experience along with relevant accreditations specific to their role on site
Rapid Deck is an innovative piled-raft foundation system that features a reinforced concrete slab, known as a “raft,” elegantly spanning your building’s footprint and supported by deep piles in stable soil. These piles minimise settlement and provide uplift protection, while the raft enhances stability by distributing loads evenly. Typically, the raft depths range from 200 to 300 mm, although designs can vary based on soil conditions, load demands, and other project-specific needs.
As your registered company, we specialise in providing a one-stop solution that encompasses everything from initial design to supply and on-site installation. Our team infuses structural expertise with geotechnical knowledge, ensuring seamless supply chain management and craftsmanship you can rely on. Regardless of whether your project is commercial, residential, or otherwise, we promise that the foundation will be meticulously crafted and delivered on schedule. Let’s connect to laying a strong foundation for your building’s success.
Our structural engineers determine the necessary dimensions, including pile diameter and depth, based on accessibility and ground conditions. We are capable of managing the entire piling process, from the first point of contact to design and implementation. We have state-of-the-art piling rigs that can be utilised even in the most challenging ground conditions.
Our piling services extend to both residential and commercial clients in Barking. Contact us today to give you structure and a strong foundation that will last for years.
