04 / Foundations & Site Works

The structure starts below grade.

Two foundation systems, each engineered to the site: portable screw anchors when the building may relocate, and concrete when permanence and load demand it.

Screw Anchors

F.SA · Portable
F.SA [ SCREW ANCHORS — portable screw-pile foundation ]

Portable, fast to install, and significantly lower lifetime cost than conventional concrete. The foundation can relocate with the building when operations move.

  • 01 Portable — relocates with the building ∞ moves
  • 02 Lower lifetime cost than concrete ↓ cost
  • 03 Quick install, minimal disturbance ↑ speed

Concrete & Precast

F.C · Permanent
F.C [ CONCRETE — pour-in-place foundation work ]

Fully engineered turn-key pour-in-place, post-tensioned foundations, and precast foundation walls. Specified to the soils report and load demand of the structure above.

  • 01 Pour-in-place — engineered & placed by ABS In-house
  • 02 Post-tensioned — for large slab geometries PT slab
  • 03 Precast walls — controlled cure, fast install Plant-cast
