Post anchorage
Root-fixed or base-plated columns follow the exact bay drawing and wind design.

From first call to a finished foundation
Getting started is simple. We will guide you through the choices and explain any information needed before installation.
Talk through the options
We discuss the site and suitable foundations, identify any supplier information needed and provide a clear written quotation.
Install and hand over
Our team marks out and installs the agreed foundation, with the required checks before the next stage of your project.
Choose the foundation, not the complication
Foundation options for your trolley bay
These are the methods worth assessing for this application. The structure, support plan and actual ground determine the right choice—not a one-size-fits-all specification.
Concrete
Concrete foundation
Individual pockets, anchor pads or a full slab provide the defined support for bay posts and guide rails.
Worth considering for: Permanent supermarket and retail-park trolley bays
