Concrete is used widely across all construction sectors and our team at REA Ltd have a broad experience in providing designs for residential, commercial, and industrial projects using this popular material. Working with our own architectural team or other architects and professionals, we collaborate throughout the design process to ensure a successful and well-integrated concrete structure.
Our designs comply with Eurocodes and Building Regulations, and include load analysis of dead loads (permanent) live loads (temporary) and other applicable forces, as well as structural analysis to check applied loads, and appropriate reinforcement that is based on tensile strength, durability, and corrosion resistance. This all helps us to choose an appropriate concrete mix based on the structural requirements, environmental conditions, and desired performance characteristics.
Although there are many different ways in which concrete can be used, some typical applications that we regularly encounter are:
- Pad foundations
- Retaining walls
- Beams and Columns
- Ground bearing slabs
- Raft foundation, piled raft foundations
- Concrete stair design
