ECONO-SLAB™ foundations are dimensionally perfect, providing pre-engineered technology and structural superiority for each and every project.
Manufactured to the highest quality control standards and designed to meet local, municipal and national building codes the ECONO-SLAB™ is easy to install resulting in fast, efficient construction and earlier project completion. The systems ship complete and ready to install with galvalume forms, threaded re-bar, insulation, fasteners, bolts, an installation manual and stamped engineered drawings. Labour to install the system is greatly reduced resulting in considerable savings. The ECONO-SLAB™ system is an environmentally friendly building product with virtually no site waste and no form stripping required once poured.
Site preparation for the installation of the ECONO-SLAB™ Foundation System is minimal when compared to the excavation required for conventional foundations. Compared to a frost wall and footing foundation we eliminate the heavier digging and excavation required which, again, reduces overall construction costs and provides a more eco-friendly building system. The ECONO-SLAB™ also saves you time, which means MONEY, without pouring and set up times for frost walls and footings you can reduce the timeline of your project.
While MBSL has been providing pre engineered steel buildings to clients across the globe for the past 6 years we have now added our patented foundation system called the ECONO-SLAB™. While we provide building solutions to our existing, or referred clientele, we supply all building contractors, manufacturers and the DIY customer with our foundation system. It would also be a great benefit to many home builders
Our ECONO-SLAB™ design allows for much faster site preparation, because you just need to remove the organic matter down to the hard pan and then compact a minimum of 8" of free drawing gravel to level the surface and be ready to install the system. This eliminates the trenching and excavation required for frost walls and footings and allows you to be ready to install your form days or weeks ahead of old-fashioned systems.
In short we have gone from a slide rule and endless calculations to CAD (computer assisted design) and rapid solutions. While the ECONO-SLAB™ isn't for every building, the number of applications we can service is surprising and growing. If time permits and clients can discuss the building design with us prior to manufacturing we can assist in ensuring that our ECONO-SLAB™b will in fact suit their need. From large industrial projects to a 20' x 30' wooden shop in the back yard all projects include a complete set of site specific P.Eng stamped drawings. The ECONO-SLAB™ not only improves the foundation strength but simplifies the process and saves time and money.
The key benefits are time and money saved but, to give some detail;
