Introduction
The foundations of the building transfer the weight of the building to the ground. While 'foundation' is a general word, normally, every building has a number of individual foundations, commonly called footings. Usually each column of the building will have its own footing.
Since the weight of the building rests on the soil (or rock), engineers have to study the properties of the soil very carefully to ensure that it can carry the loads imposed by the building. It is common for engineers to determine the safe bearing capacity of the soil after such study. As the name suggests, this is the amount of weight per unit area the soil can bear. For example, the safe bearing capacity (SBC) at a location could be 20 T/m2, or tones per square meter.
so that we are at Cretematic we keen to make a high quality foundations products and endurance in order to be more safer and durability that not effected by factors of soil Or any negative effect caused by soil

Advantages of Cretematic Precast Foundations
• Shorter construction period:
Our precast foundations are designed to shorten the construction phase and bring the construction into operation at an earlier date.
• Load capacity:
the strength of our concrete foundations raises the capacity load of the construction to enable the installment of the rest of construction elements .
• Durability:
our precast elements are designed to resist accidental impact loads. The density and durability of our products gives long life maintenance free experience to our elements.
• Protection & Isolation:
Insulation of foundations (all foundation elements) contacting directly with underground soil is the most important reason that keeps its strength and durability
so Cretematic Is keen to use a high quality insulating materials to isolate all underground elements to avoid any external factors can negatively affect the strength and durability of the element such as
(Underground water - salts and sulfate in the soil, etc….)Best consultants insist on Isolating elements contacting directly with underground soil to avoid any negative impact from
The soil which affects the strength of the concrete element generally and does not fulfill the conditions required of it
Therefore, we are keen at Cretematic to isolate the element professionally so that it is 100% GuaranteedSo Cretematic keens to use a high quality insulating materials (bitumen - etc .....) in the process of isolating foundations
