Reinforced Concrete (RC) Works

At Ancora Foundations, we don’t just install piles — we deliver the complete foundation solution. Our reinforced concrete (RC) teams provide everything from piled rafts to ground beams and retaining walls, giving clients a single, reliable contractor to handle their entire substructure package. Whether you’re building an extension, a residential block, a commercial unit or a basement, we offer fast, cost-effective and high-quality RC construction tailored to your project.

Piled Raft Foundations

A piled raft spreads loads across a reinforced concrete slab supported by piles, giving you a strong, stable foundation even on poor ground.

Non-Voided Piled Rafts
Ideal where a raft can sit directly on the formation:

  • Perfect for new-builds, commercial units and residential blocks
  • Great for sites with soft or variable ground
  • Keeps settlements low and structure stable

Voided Piled Rafts
Used where ground movement or clay heave is a risk:

  • Protects buildings from upward ground pressure
  • Essential in clay areas, near large trees or shrink-swell soils
  • Complies with NHBC heave requirements

Piled RC Beams (Ground Beams)

Piled reinforced concrete beams span between pile positions, transferring loads into the ground without major excavation. Ideal for house extensions, new-build homes, and boundary-line builds.

Why they work so well:

  • Minimal ground disturbance and clean installation
  • Perfect in poor soil conditions
  • Fully reinforced for long-term strength

We handle everything: shuttering, steel fixing, concrete pour and finishing — all to the highest standards.

RC Walls & Structures

Retaining walls, basement walls, RC frames, and containment structures integrated with your piling system.

Complete Package

Piling + RC = one contractor, no delays, reduced risk, and no coordination issues.

Why Clients Choose Ancora: Quality-focused, fast turnaround, fully compliant, and commercially efficient.

Services FAQ

For sites with limited access or low headroom (like basements or rear gardens), we use SFA (Segmental Flight Auger), Grundomat, or Helical piling. These methods utilise compact, handheld, or modular equipment that avoids the need for large rigs.
We use ODEX piling for challenging strata. This method cases the hole simultaneously while drilling, preventing bore collapse in loose soil and allowing us to penetrate through boulders, fill, or rock obstructions securely.
Yes. Beyond piling, our Reinforced Concrete (RC) teams construct piled rafts, ground beams, and retaining walls. This ‘one-stop’ approach ensures seamless integration, faster delivery, and clearer accountability for your project.
Absolutely. We specialise in vibration-free and low-noise techniques (such as CFA, SFA, and Helical piling) that protect adjacent structures and minimise disruption to neighbours, fully compliant with environmental standards.
Yes. We design and install Contiguous and Secant piled walls to retain earth and exclude water for basement excavations. These are engineered to withstand high lateral loads and integrate with the final structure.
We operate with strict adherence to Eurocode 7, BS EN standards, and NHBC requirements. We provide full design warranties, collateral warranties, and comprehensive Quality Assurance (QA) logs for every pile installed.
