Inco Steel Buildings: Engineered Foundation Requirements

Reinforced Concrete Monolithic Slabs with Footings and Stem Walls: Mandatory Foundations for Inco Steel Buildings

Inco building engineers require concrete footings or piers for the steel frame to bear upon. A solid concrete foundation is the basis for Inco Steel Buildings, which can be built with an integral slab, floating slab, or without a slab.
Inco Steel Buildings are available with a monolithic concrete foundation with footings and reinforced integrated slab, or vertical concrete piers 24 inches in diameter. Using 6×6 W2.9 6ga Wire Mesh Sheets with rebar for reinforcement, concrete piers or monolithic slabs are constructed over compacted stone aggregates.

28-Day Mandatory Concrete Curing Process

Monolithic Slab System or Concrete Pier Foundation System

Metal buildings require a professionally installed, engineered foundation, especially when constructed on clay soil, which is prevalent throughout North Carolina.

Understanding foundations, all of the types and their suitability is crucial for a problem-free long-lasting and durable building. Hire Inco Steel Buildings for a turnkey metal building foundation designed by a foundation engineer.
