Speedeck takes pride in its internal expertise , realised by its robust team of geotechnical and structural engineers who are fully committed to exceeding the expectations of all customers , from established developers and major housebuilders to contractors . Championing design excellence , the business specialises in the manufacture and installation of foundation systems that provide muchneeded stability on soft , undesirable ground and are able to withstand any geotechnical issues , such as ground movements .
From initial concept design to construction , Speedeck ’ s customers can be certain that they are receiving the top , quality-assured products and the best service . In the very first stages of the project , Speedeck ’ s conversant pre-construction team can support its clients with essential design assistance and strategic definition following its consolidated four-stage strategy proposal . Its pre-construction plan starts with a rigorous geotechnical assessment of the site and surrounding areas to identify any geological , hydrological or other ground risks ( contaminates , soil characteristics , etc ).
Should any issues be unearthed , the preconstruction team will provide further site testing . Using ground investigation and in-situ solutions , the business can provide further beneficial data to reinforce any findings from Speedeck ’ s geotechnical laboratory .
To supplement the geotechnical examinations , Speedeck ’ s crew of structural engineers will assess the superstructure and perimeter of the client ’ s project to uncover its true size and weight distribution ; this extra data will help Speedeck tailor the best , most efficient solution to the customer .
