What the foundation needs to do
A trolley bay stands among moving vehicles and receives repeated impacts from nested trolleys. Its post foundations, kerbs and hardstanding need to follow the manufacturer and car-park layout.
We install the specified concrete pockets, slab or anchor zones with levels coordinated to drainage and adjacent surfacing.
Options, assessed properly
Suitable foundation methods
The methods below are possibilities to assess—not interchangeable specifications. We match the foundation to the product, loads, support points, ground and access.
A written price for the approved detail
Specialist foundations are quoted from the actual product, support plan and site information. No VAT is added to the guide prices shown.
Before installation
Dimensions, approvals and responsibilities
Provide the manufacturer's general arrangement and post foundation schedule. Similar bay sizes can have different root depths and anchor plates.
Traffic management and temporary loss of parking spaces should be agreed with the site operator before excavation.
JustBases quotes the agreed foundation and groundwork. Product installation, specialist connections, commissioning and third-party design remain outside our scope unless the written quotation expressly includes them.

"Craig and his team were very professional throughout the job. They worked tirelessly and extremely hard. The job involved digging up a thick reinforced concrete base. Then creating a whole new base with precision engineering in preparation to accept a new building on top. The result was an excellent job all round."
