Cast in Place Concrete
Foundations
for Fabric Covered
Buildings
When it comes to anchoring fabric buildings, cast in
place concrete is a widely used, adaptable foundation
option. A cast in place foundation is a concrete beam that
runs under the steel trusses that support the fabric
buildings load. The beam is installed much like any type of
concrete footing, using temporary forms and then pouring
concrete.
One advantage is its adaptability
to the project requirements. A cast in place concrete
foundation allows the configuration of the foundation to the
fabric buildings exact requirements. Specific requirements
are i.e., a simple beam foundation for arenas, to complex
wall systems used for a bulk commodity warehouse. The
configuration of this type of foundation is one of the most widely used options because of
its quality and adaptability.
