Designing slab foundations often involves navigating site-specific challenges, performance requirements, and compliance considerations. For many specifiers, the ability to access flexible, project-specific engineering support can make a significant difference in both efficiency and project outcomes.
Through DesignHub, Allied Concrete offers a Specific Engineered Slab Design (SED) service that provides tailored slab solutions developed by a Chartered Professional Engineer (CPEng).
What is a Specific Engineered Slab Design (SED)?
A Specific Engineered Slab Design is a fully engineered foundation solution customised to suit individual project conditions. This includes everything from site constraints and soil conditions through to load requirements and performance expectations.
Each SED includes:
Engineering calculations and detailed design drawings
Customised slab design tailored to the project
Remote PS4 inspection (via photos or video)
Producer Statement (PS4) confirming the slab was constructed as designed
Transparent pricing provided before work begins
