A piled raft foundation in Middlewich

We supplied the concrete for a piled raft foundation in Middlewich — a demanding structural pour onto a piled base, placed to the engineer’s specification.

volumetric mixed fresh on site to the specified structural grade, delivered to keep the groundworks moving.

Middlewich sits on ground that isn’t always strong enough to build on directly, so piled foundations are common. We mix the concrete fresh to spec to fill the piles, then return to pour the ring beam and raft that tie the whole foundation together.

Local ground conditions

The ground beneath Middlewich

Middlewich has made salt since Roman times — its Roman name Salinae reflects the natural brine springs rising off the salt beneath. Like the other salt towns it carries brine-related subsidence risk, and the confluence of the Dane, Croco and Wheelock brings soft, compressible alluvium through the town.

What that means for your pour: a ground investigation to check for shallow salt dissolution and soft alluvial ground; the sulfate class follows a soil test — gypsum in the Mercia Mudstone and any made ground can push it up.

Flood risk — check before you pour

Flood risk in Middlewich

Middlewich sits where the Dane, Croco and Wheelock meet, in the Dane-catchment flood-alert area, with the added canal-breach history that fed the Dane in 2018. The low town centre is the exposed ground; higher land is drier.

If your plot is on the low-lying ground, a Flood Risk Assessment may set a raised floor level and flood-resilient construction — a solid, low-permeability slab over continuous tanking. We pour the specified concrete to suit; the FRA and floor levels come from your designer and building control, not from us.

See flood risk & concrete for what’s required. Check the specific address on the EA flood map for planning — only the low-lying/valley-floor part of the area is affected, not the whole town. General guidance only.

Why Barrow Mix?

We run our own quarry, wagons and pumps — a genuinely self-sufficient supplier, so we’re not waiting on anyone else to get your concrete to site. See why that matters →
