QuickBase
QuickBase is Shire’s multi-award-winning flooring, beam and pile system. QuickBase is an entirely unique lightweight foundation system for conservatories and lightweight structures such as glamping facilities and single floor extensions.
QuickBase is based on helical screw piles that support part-recycled plastic ground beams connected via a series of push-fit joints to form a frame. The ground beam is then filled with a specially formulated non-shrink grout to give a high strength composite beam. The frame carries the load of the building through the piles to suitable bearing strata, uniquely removing the need for mass concrete foundations. It is then fitted with a premanufactured damp-proof floor slab onto which the inner wall of the conservatory, extension or other lightweight structure is built.
QuickBase is completely concrete-free, easy to install and exceeds the requirements of building control regulations.
Shire
Engineering innovation is at the heart of Shire’s approach to structural engineering. Shire was formed during 1988 in the belief that many clients were dissatisfied with the traditional reactive response of some engineers. Shire aims to have an active involvement in projects, making recommendations where we see more effective solutions. We have gained a reputation for being ‘Thinking Engineers’ which has led to a varied workload in the civil, structural, highways, aerospace, education and rail sectors.
