Fast completion for QuickBase modular foundation

The QuickBase modular foundation system has enabled the supply of a home dialysis room for a kidney patient, in double quick time.

The foundation was completed in six hours, enabling the entire SIP panel extension to be completed in 11 days from start to finish.

The project was funded by Leicestershire Primary Care Trust in association with South Northants District Council for the patient, who previously had to travel 15 Miles to and from hospital three times a week.

Martyn Syner, director of contractors Edgebourn said: "We have been using QuickBase as an integral part of our PAB (Portable Adaptive Building) system for some time and find it quicker, more economical and more versatile than conventional foundations".

QuickBase uses helical steel piles, lightweight ground beams and heat-retaining floor slabs.

It is up to three times quicker to install than concrete foundations, can be put down in almost any weather and eliminates the need for deep digging or wet-mixed materials.

The system is based on the Shire pile, the most widely specified domestic support system in the UK with more than 5,000 installations now in place around the country.

QuickBase won Best New-Build Product at a recent Interbuild show and Conservatory Product of the Year from WFI magazine.
