Jan 15, 2023 Warehousing Ireland News, Storage, Warehousing Comments Off on Industry Insight: Concrete foundations can release 21,315kg of CO2
*While adding several weeks to overall build times |
A typical 700m2 lightweight warehouse building made from 98% resuable material. |
Cement manufacturing accounts for 8% of global CO2 emissions.
When building a new warehouse, considerations regarding the need for a new concrete base or slab to build upon can have a big impact on the bottom line cost to both the project’s bugdet and CO2 emittance. |
Using aluminium to build a warehouse on tarmac, paving, gravel or exisiting concrete next to your premise is simple…
Compared to steel buildings, lightweight buildings made of aluminium have many advantages. While steel buildings usually require a time-consuming and cost-intensive concrete foundation, this is often not necessary with aluminium buildings. |
Looking to increase your warehouse space in 2023?
We commonly deliver warehouse buildings for purchase or rental across the UK with sizes ranging from 150m2 up to 5000m2. |
Certified service life of up to 50 yearsAluminium is a light metal compared to steel and can have a density of 2.6 grams per cm³. At the same time, aluminium buildings are very stable. They can be used for heavy wind and snow load zones as well as in coastal areas. Certified service lives of up to 50 years are achieved with quick-install, optimised profile geometries. |
How is the warehouse anchored without foundations?In principle, an aluminium lightweight building can be installed on almost any surface without having to pour a foundation.
Aluminium buildings without foundations can be quickly and easily fastened to the ground with spikes. Depending on the size of the building, a number of ground spikes are inserted into anchor plates to which the building profiles are attached. |
Three layers with a total thickness of at least 80 cm
|
Is the existing ground suitable?Is a car park, gravelled or asphalted area available? Then in many cases the right place for a warehouse has already been found. Anchoring is only not possible on topsoil. Due to the lack of compaction, anchoring on topsoil cannot withstand the tensile forces.
The frost protection layer and the base layer are crucial for the ground spike anchoring. The material chosen for the subsequent top layer has no effect on the stability. Asphalt, gravel or paving is suitable here. Thus, in many cases, the existing surface can be used for economical ground spike anchoring. |

Still looking for something a little more concrete?With lightweight buildings you can even build upon simple point foundations or bordering edges using significantly less concrete than a full slab. |
