Raft Foundation System - Multipole Unilog
Raft Foundations use MultiPole UniLog beams to form a lattice of strong, lightweight foundation beams. This ‘raft’ is designed to have a four metre internal span and a two metre cantilever at the edge.
The UniLog poles are machined to a uniform diameter, resulting in a very consistent machined finish. This uniformity makes them suitable for Raft Foundation components, such as bearers and jack studs. It also allows brackets to be easily designed for the pole as the diameter is accurately known.
Raft Foundations can be combined with additional foundation solutions, such as Ground Improvement or Deep Piles, to provide a site specific foundation solution.
