About the project

Foundations for industrial structures.

Scope of works

Earthworks and foundation works.

01

Task

Foundations for an industrial installation on an open site: separate stepped monolithic reinforced concrete foundations with anchor bolts for the columns and equipment. The groundworks had to be completed — from excavation to finished foundations with embedded parts, on which the steel structure is subsequently erected.

02

Solution

Pits were excavated for each foundation, blinding laid, reinforcement cages tied and the stepped formwork set up. The anchor bolts were held in jigs before concreting so that after striking, the columns could be installed on them without fitting. Concreting was done in the cold season, so shelters were erected over the foundations and the concrete was cured until it gained strength. The lower part was coated with liquid-applied waterproofing before backfilling.
