CAST-IN-PLACE VS. PRECAST CUSTOM FOOTINGS

Why use cast-in-place footings when you can use precast custom ones!

Yes, you read that right! Cast-in-place footings are becoming a thing of the past. More and more projects are going with precast custom footings because of cost, efficiency, labour, and ground conditions.

Our Custom Footings Journey

Traditionally, our Tri-Span and CON/SPAN units were placed on piles or cast-in-place footings. Piles are expensive to install, and cast-in-place footings can lead to higher field costs and human error. We found there was a need for a product to combat poor soil conditions, intensive labour, and efficiency in the field. Our in-house engineers took the task at hand, and custom footings were created to solve that need.

The Story of Our 19-Metre Footings

Recently, we designed a 16-metre Tri-Span project. The problem? Poor soil conditions and piles drove up the project costs. Our team of in-house experts hand-crafted the solution: 19-metre custom footings that alleviated the need for piles and cast-in-place footings, AND could handle many ground conditions. They look pretty cool too!

Not All Footings Are Created Equal

Custom footings improve on productivity during installations, increase accuracy in project development, and are created in controlled environments, ensuring quality and performance is met. We can custom design footings in various shapes and dimensions, accounting for the many ground conditions we face in Ontario.
