Steelcon has developed a module foundation
system for steel buildings. We have provisional patents on this
method, and are very excited about its potential in the pre-engineered arena.

system.
Key Benefits
Price within 3-5% of conventional
system
Modular systems are manufactured
in a controlled environment.
Foundation system installation
takes just 1/3 of the time of a conventional system (see table below).
Much greater strength than a
typical reinforced 8" block wall
Foundation systems can be designed
to handle loads and reactions of pre-engineered buildings, even from
other manufacturers.
No on-the-job placing of concrete
enables all-season installation
Exposed walls can be stamped with
your choice of several different patterns or even colored as an
option.
Provisional patents pending
Rigid insulation already
incorporated into wall panels
Steelcon Foundation System vs. Conventional
Based on a typical 100x75 building with 4'
