Concrete Footings in Newcastle

We construct concrete footings for structural support. Footings transfer loads to stable ground, forming a solid base for buildings, walls, and outdoor structures.

WHERE ARE CONCRETE FOOTINGS USED?

Concrete footings are needed when a structure requires a stable base that prevents movement or sinking. They ensure loads are carried to solid ground.

Common uses include:

Footings are designed to suit ground pressure, soil type, and load requirements.

TYPES OF CONCRETE FOOTINGS

STRIP FOOTINGS

Long and narrow base for walls or light structures.

PAD FOOTINGS

Square or round, supports individual columns.

COMBINED FOOTINGS

Supports multiple points close together.

Each type ensures soil stability and water control.

WHAT FOOTINGS DO IN CONSTRUCTION?

Concrete footings support the entire structure by transferring its load to stable ground. Without properly installed footings, buildings, walls, and other elements are at risk of uneven settling, cracking, or long-term damage due to shifting soil.

Each footing is designed to match the specific weight of the structure and the condition of the ground it rests on, ensuring long-term stability.

Footings also act as a buffer against ground movement caused by moisture changes, soil expansion, or erosion. This is especially important in areas with reactive soils or sloped land where ground conditions can vary.

We install footings to match ground strength, site layout, and load requirements, ensuring construction remains safe and stable over time.

FOOTING INSTALLATION STEPS

SITE REVIEW

Check soil, load requirements, and structure type.

EXCAVATION

Dig trenches or pits for footing layout.

FORM AND POUR

Formwork set; concrete poured with reinforcement.

Footings are cured before further work continues.

APPLICATIONS OF CONCRETE FOOTINGS

Concrete footings form the base for a wide range of structures, each requiring support to prevent movement and ensure safety. The size, depth, and reinforcement of each footing depend on the weight of the structure and the condition of the ground it’s built on.

Accurate footing placement is necessary to maintain alignment, prevent shifting, and support the structure throughout its lifespan.

Concrete footings are constructed for:

Each footing is built to match the load it supports and the conditions of the site, ensuring reliable ground support over time.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Do footings vary by soil type?

Yes, softer or reactive soils may need deeper footings or extra reinforcement to ensure the load is supported without movement or cracking.

Footings usually set enough for further work within 24–48 hours. Full curing takes longer, but construction can often continue once initial strength is reached.

Yes, any permanent structure needs footings to distribute weight evenly and prevent uneven settling or movement over time.

Yes, but water must be managed to keep the base stable. Extra steps are taken to ensure concrete sets correctly without weakening.
