“The MK10 Structural Slab Foundation is the GOLD STANDARD of foundations!”

Ships & Installs

Virtually anywhere! The strength of the MK5 comes from the size of the bar & its position in the slab.

Our Guarantee

Offsite Inspections certificates included with every form. Manufactured in Canada.

Site Preparation

The MK5 Foundation requires a drain base as the “bottom” of the form. Heavy excavation is not required.

Remove all organics down to the first level of natural soils or hardpan and save the top-soils for backfill. Add a minimum of 8” local gravel, we use ¼ x ¼ HPB high performance bedding, no sand. Compact the base level finishing 2” above existing grade. In High static water areas finish 6 to 12” above the existing grade and in conservation areas or flood zones finish as much as 18-24” above the existing grade.

You’re not digging down into the natural soils you are building up and out of the water or rock.

HOW DO PRE-ENGINEERED MK5 STRUCTURAL SLAB FOUNDATIONS WORK WITH PRE-ENGINEERED STEEL BUILDINGS?

Pre-Engineered MK5 Foundations are designed and priced at the same time as the building, waiting for Structural drawings then passing them on to a foundation engineers are over. The building is designed with the foundation in mind, eliminating possible errors. Adjusting the frame spacing and wind brace positions on the building will lower the upload and down-load reactions on the slab, maximizing building with foundation efficiency and cost as a package.

The MK5 Foundation designed with your steel building will generate the most cost-effective project price possible, Right Now!
