Benefits of Beam & Block

Minimal Excavation and No Backfill

Minimal Excavation and No Backfill

For our Beam and Block system, the excavation required is only for foundation trenching or stub columns and ground beams. The suspended Beam and Block floor is laid simply supported on top of the foundation walling. There is no requirement for Excavation and removal of foundation soils and subsequent back-filling with select materials, as you would with a conventional slab.

Advantages of Beam & Block

  • Preliminaries:  Beam and Block allows massive savings on preliminaries as there are savings on storage, security, space, time and labor.
  • No Shuttering / Formwork Required:  The Beam and Block system is a precast and designed product and does not require formwork for the soffit as does conventional slabs .This saves on costs.
  • No Reinforcement Required:  The Beams are made of Class 60 concrete, pre-stressed with high tensile steel, and manufactured to BS EN 15037, meaning there no need for additional reinforcement. This makes Beam and Block flooring economical.
  • Reduction in Concrete Works:  A 50mm to 75mm Fibre reinforced Screed or topping is required only.
  • Fast and Easy Installation:  The Beam and Block system is very quick and easy to install.  Approximately 100 m2 of the system can be installed manually in a day. For conventional slab, it takes about 28 days for the slab to be completed from concreting, vibrating and curing. This can save about 90% of time. Minimal machinery is required on site. (No Concrete pump, No Poker Vibrator, No raking or levelling required).
  • All Weather Construction:  Installation can begin on delivery and is not influenced by weather conditions.
  • Minimal Labour / Machinery required:   A competent site supervisor and a few unskilled labour are required to install the system. This saves on costs. The beams can be carried and placed by hand, no lifting equipment required.
  • Reduced Theft / loss of Materials from site:  The Beam and Block system is uniquely designed for each build, it cannot be used on another site.  It is stored in the open. The risk of theft / loss is minimal compared to steel and cement etc. as used in a conventional slab.
  • Minimum Site Preparation for ground floor foundation:  Only excavation of trenches for foundation walling or columns is required.  No removal, cartage and fill and compaction of the ground floor slab as Beam and block is suspended. A minimum Void of 150mm (or 225mm in Black cotton) is required between underside of floor and ground surface. Saving costs and reducing site activity.
  • Early working Platforms and quick progression of works:  The floor itself becomes a working platform as soon as it is laid, allowing other works and walling to continue as soon as it is laid.  Plumbing and electrical can be done upon completion of the structure saving time.

Wall Panels Benefits and Why?

  • Quick and easy Installation:  Minimizes on-site labour and construction time due to absence of plastering.
  • High quality and durability:  The panels are made in a controlled environment, ensuring consistent quality and precision.
  • Consistency and quality control:  The factory settings, ensure accurate dimensions, reducing risk of errors during installation, and maintain consistent strength and appearance.
  • Better insulation:  The panels help regulate indoor temperatures, improve energy efficiency and also enhances sound insulation.
