At Piled Raft Foundation (PRF), we specialize in robust, reliable solutions for your foundation and construction needs. Among our many services, we give the best-constructed concrete working platforms, which serve as an integral part of safe and productive construction works. Our team ensures that these highly durable structures meet the very top performance standards, making them reliable and effective at achieving challenging site-based goals. Providing our clients with tailored solutions based on years of experience and commitment to excellence is what we do best. We meet the unique needs of every project we undertake.
Working platforms are intended for heavy equipment, vehicles, or workers as temporary or permanent surfaces for rough leveling and accommodating operations on sites with uneven or weak ground conditions. They create a firm and level base that will help minimize risks and improve efficiency during critical construction stages.
Typical Applications
Working platforms have a wide variety of applications. They are most commonly used in piling operations for crane setups and where heavy machinery needs a reliable support surface. In the same way, these surfaces are essential in temporary access roads, storage yards, or even areas where load distribution is required on the site.
Our Robust Process
Our concrete working platforms will ensure durability, reduced chances of accidents, machinery efficiency, and more. Using hands intertwined with our experience, every concrete surface built will be installed following the overall construction workflow optimization while putting safety above everything.
The process we adopt is systematic and efficient. Assessment of site condition is done entirely to determine the specific challenge. Based on this, a working platform solution is designed to meet safety and operational needs. Our excellent team then does the installation with high-quality materials and proven techniques that achieve great finishing. Throughout the project, communication and time are adhered to, ensuring smooth and trouble-free operations for the clients.
PRF has provided over a decade of customized geotechnical solutions and advanced foundation engineering services in southern England. Our experts ensure that foundation designs are optimized for various soil conditions, giving architects and engineers confidence in the structural stability of their projects. Our piled raft foundation system provides enhanced stability, load-bearing capacity, and design flexibility compared to traditional ground beam foundations. This approach allows the development of larger structures with fewer foundation elements, reducing construction costs and simplifying the overall process for our customers. PRF's collaborative partnerships with structural engineers ensure that even unforeseen geotechnical complexities are expertly managed.
PRF understands that every construction site is different, so our specialist team takes time to study and understand the site's soil profile and characteristics. This approach ensures the correct foundation strategy is applied to each plot.
Our team offers cost-effective, efficient design and build solutions by combining our design, construction, and state-of-the-art engineering software expertise. At this stage, the customer gets a better understanding of our solution and how it will be implemented to their project.
As a design and build foundation contractor, our experienced team completes the build supported by our site engineers, so you can rest assured your project will be completed to the highest industry standards.
PRF delivers your project to the highest level of quality and care. We integrate eco-friendly practices to provide superior results that benefit the environment. PRF constantly reviews and refines our process to ensure the best possible service to our clients.
The main benefit of using a concrete working platform is its unmatchable strength and durability. Heavy loads, extreme weather conditions, and, above all, the wear and tear of time do not matter. It creates a stable surface that endures for indefinite periods without sinking or tipping over, causing safety issues and improving the safety of operations. In addition, a concrete platform usually minimizes maintenance needs relative to alternative surfaces, thus making it an economical solution for many projects.
Concrete working platforms can be made in a fashion that enables them to meet different site needs. Some may only require thin layers of concrete blinding to create a uniform surface, while others may require deeper slabs to support heavy load-bearing. At PRF, we concentrate on designing platforms that not only meet the technical requirements but can be used in practically addressing on-site problems.
We recommend concrete blinding as a preferred working platform option because it creates a smooth, even surface that improves accessibility and stability. Concrete blinding is especially useful in areas where the underlying soil is uneven or prone to shifting. This method ensures that construction activities can proceed without unnecessary delays or complications caused by unstable ground.
Granular and Pure Crush Platforms: These are formed from layers of compacted granular materials that can include crushed stone or gravel. Most of the time, these carry heavy machinery or equipment that are not permanently used on the surface but require stability. The granular material is selected and compacted carefully to maximize load distribution and minimize ground movement. Cost-effective, easy to construct, and suitable for medium-load sites.
Geogrid Reinforced Platforms: They comprise an extended geogrid, a synthetic structure to improve soil stability and bearing capacity. Geogrids are arranged at the elevations of the granular materials in line with the enhancement of platform strength and deformation resistance. In particular, this platform is used in soft or weak soil areas and developed to provide additional support and minimize settlement owing to excessive loads. Geogrid-reinforced platforms are long-lasting and very reliable; thus, one is widely used both for temporary and permanent applications.
Chemically Stabilized Platforms: These are designed by treating the soil or base material with chemical agents such as lime or cement to strengthen the material. This process binds the soil particles together, reducing permeability and increasing load-bearing capacity. Chemically stabilized platforms are ideal for sites with challenging ground conditions where untreated soil may not provide sufficient support. They offer a durable and stable surface, making them suitable for long-term use in demanding environments.
