FOUNDATION INSTALL
BUILT STEP BY STEP.
Foundations are typically built with masonry, such as concrete block or brick, or with poured concrete. Masonry materials offer high compressive strength and are much more resistant to damage from moisture and soil than wood and metal materials. A masonry foundation typically extends above the ground to protect other building materials from moisture and other damaging effects of ground contact.
FROM EXCAVATION TO
WATERPROOFING.
Site preparation, excavation, and layout work before the concrete stage begins.
Footings, wall formwork, concrete pouring, and slab-finishing phases.
Drainage systems, waterproofing, and grading for long-term performance.
Some building foundations are built with treated wood posts or piers. In this case, the foundation supports are driven deep into the earth and/or rest on rock or concrete pads. Posts and piers often are used when building on or near water or where the land is prone to flooding.
MATERIAL STRENGTH &
SITE CONDITIONS.
Concrete block, brick, and poured concrete.
Masonry materials offer strong resistance to moisture and soil-related damage. These systems are commonly reinforced internally with metal rebar or similar structural materials.
Useful in special site conditions.
Treated wood posts or piers may be used where the foundation needs to be elevated, where the land is flood-prone, or where construction occurs on or near water.
OUR FOUNDATION INSTALL
SERVICE PATH.
Instead of another standard grid, this layout presents the installation work as a step-by-step service journey from early site work to finishing and protection.
Backfill
A high groundwater table can limit the foundation depth as well as the type of foundation that can be used.
Excavation
Flexible excavation solutions can be provided depending on different construction methods after foundation layout marking.
Footings
Typically, footings are constructed from concrete that has been poured into an excavated trench and reinforced with rebar.
Walls Formwork & Concrete Pour
Wall formwork can be made of wood, steel, aluminum, or other materials. Concrete pouring can include various choices of materials, concrete and sand.
Pouring / Finishing Concrete Floor
Disregarding other factors, the minimum depth of a foundation is typically no less than 18 inches to allow for the removal of topsoil and variations in ground level.
Drainage Pipe or Weeping Tile
Weeping tiles and French drains are two different drainage systems. Weeping tiles and French drains both collect water, but their placement and output differ.
Grading / Physical Site Levelling & Waterproofing
Grading or physical site leveling can be done to perfection with Corra’s wide variety of tools and equipment. Waterproofing materials help protect the foundation envelope and finished installation.
