Deep reinforced concrete base

A deep reinforced base formed with steel shuttering.

The challenge

A deep excavation had to be formed with steel shuttering and reinforced before a large, heavy pour.

How we delivered it

  1. Stage 1: Reinforcement

    The reinforcement was fixed in the deep excavation, ready for inspection.
