Ballasted Foundations.
The Ideal Choice for Non-Invasive Installations.
Having a solution that requires no breaking ground is essential. Whether there's an area of archeological interest, underground services, impenetrable ground makeup, land with very low cohesive resistivity or high corrosivity...
Our ballast system is always available to provide the solution.
Using readily available materials including the use of high-density concrete blocks, reclaimed concrete railway sleepers and pre-cast concrete mono-block, the ballast system is easy to install and extremely diverse in its applications.
