At GTM Piling Ltd, our piling contractors use reinforced steel ground beams to meet the specifications of structural engineers. The crafting process is completed onsite by tying the steel with wire and placing it over the piles. The NHBC or Building Control will then inspect the work before we pour concrete in place. This ensures that foundations in Manchester, Liverpool, Chester, Warrington, Stockport, Ormskirk, Knutsford, Blackpool, Preston or the surrounding North West areas comply with standards and provide adequate support.
When you choose our team for your next project, you can rest assured that we will install ground beams for all of the following property types:
We’re every bit as comfortable preparing a residential extension as taking on a commercial project, and guarantee a job well done to avoid repairs at a later date.
Please call our team for piled foundations and ground beams at a competitive cost. We’re always happy to run through the process behind our piling services, answering any questions you have for total peace of mind.

These structural elements span between the piled foundations and serve as an alternative to traditional footings. Made from concrete and a structural steel frame, they transfer loads to the walls, columns and foundations below. They’re typically used in domestic projects like building extensions, but also find use in civil engineering and commercial works. As with all foundations, they demand special care from a fully trained team like our trusted piling contractors.
Ground beams are vital to the success of piled foundations because they spread the load evenly, which helps to keep the structure above stable. Relatively simple to apply and without the need for any kind of maintenance, the right approach ensures you’ll never need new ground beams or subsequent foundation work. In addition, they suit the variable ground conditions often seen in Chester, Warrington, Manchester, Liverpool, Stockport, Ormskirk, Knutsford, Blackpool, Preston and the North West – delivering an accurate bearing level and overcoming ground-related uncertainties.
They’re also quicker to install than everyday footings and reduce the amount of levelling up needed to start the building work in earnest. As such, our piling company implements ground beams in a way that only helps to keep your project on schedule. Finally, ground beams can resist any potential ground movement, such as the heaving of clay. We can also install reinforced concrete beams in sloped or uneven environments.
No matter the details of your project, our piling contractors go that extra mile to make sure your beams spread the load evenly and support the structure well into the future. Simply contact a member of the team for a free quotation or to make an enquiry about our piling services.
