Housedeck - CFA Piling & Concrete Raft Foundations

Housedeck is a patented piled raft foundation and ground floor system for residential structures, that offers cost and programme certainty throughout the private and commercial sectors. It is also safer and more environmentally friendly than other methods.

Housedeck comprises a reinforced concrete slab supported on CFA piles. There are two basic types: non-voided (deck supported from piles or treated ground, directly on the ground surface) and voided (deck supported by piles, void designed to accommodate ground heave and deal with gassing sites).

Features and benefits:

• Cost certainty – by reducing the program, prelims and cutting out many of the traditional elements, such as excavation for ground beams, reduced piling mat, therefore affording improved cost certainty for a project.
• Faster – up to 70% faster than traditional methods and offers improved program certainty.
• Safer – includes many features that enhance a safer environment on site.
• Less environmental impact – uses less concrete, requires less spoil removal, and significantly reduced vehicle and plant movement. Reducing the carbon footprint of the site.
• Replaces the need for traditional strip foundations, or pile and beam.
• BBA certified and all major warranty provider approved: NHBC, Premier Guarantee & LABC.
