We are a business that has built an excellent reputation for itself over the last two decades. Our team excels in concrete place & finish services, as well as various areas of contracting. The number of projects we’ve worked on is considerable, and they’ve taken us across the entire country.

One of the main placements we offer here are mat slabs. These are huge concrete slabs that have the capacity to support multiple walls and columns. You spread the slab out beneath the whole structure. This reduces the contact pressure.

Due to the quantity and speed of houses needed following World War II, the mat slab technique became very popular. It was inexpensive and not difficult to install. Best of all, the slabs didn’t need as much excavation as your standard strip foundations.

Where do we use these slabs today?

In modern times, we typically employ mat slabs when the strata aren’t stable. There could also be scenarios where there is ground movement. They’re far more common in commercial projects than domestic ones in the UK. Despite this, you can use mat slabs successfully for both.

There are several circumstances where mat slabs are the right choice. For example, people use them for supporting massive loads. This is why they are more common in large scale commercial projects. We also utilise them when the soil has a low load bearing capacity. We must spread the weight of the building out over a bigger area for a more secure foundation. Sometimes, the structure’s walls could be so close that the separate footings would end up overlapping. It would be ideal to use mat slabs here.

At JSR 247 Ltd, we’re more than familiar with the finer details of concrete place & finish. We know that all kinds of obstacles can pop up when working with the material. As a result, we make plans to ensure that they don’t become a threat to our success. This ensures a more effective project.
