About Our Foundation Pads for Modular Classrooms
While the classrooms themselves provide vital teaching and learning space, our foundation pads are hidden below as the modern, sustainable support system that makes fast, safe installation possible. Jackpad® foundation pads for temporary classrooms provide stable, level bases for single units or larger multi-classroom blocks, as you can see from our technical data, keeping your pupils and staff safe throughout the installation.
The biggest benefit is that with Jackpad®, there’s no need to dig or pour concrete. Our three-part system of adjusters, support blocks and incremental packers sits directly on most surfaces with minimal preparation needed. Once the temporary classroom is no longer required, our foundations can be quickly removed, restoring your school grounds to their original state without costly or disruptive remedial work.
Why Schools Choose Us
Jackpad® modular classroom foundations have been independently tested and used at schools, colleges and universities nationwide, giving confidence that every classroom will be safely and securely supported throughout its use.
How It Works
The Jackpad® system for school buildings is built around three simple components: steel adjusters, robust support blocks and incremental packers. Together, they form strong, reusable modular classroom foundations that keep pupils and staff safe. The speed at which our system can be laid significantly reduces installation time, which also reduces disruption to the ongoing education of pupils.
Installed directly onto playgrounds, car parks or compacted shingle, the pads sit under the support beams of your modular classrooms, with fine levelling control provided by the steel adjusters. Underneath this, the robust blocks take the load, while the incremental packers compensate for uneven ground. When the units are no longer required, the foundation pads for temporary classrooms can be quickly removed, restoring your grounds with little or no remedial work needed.

Compliance and Safety
Safety is of the utmost importance in all use cases, which is why Jackpad® has been certified by ISO9001, SSIP Acclaim and Constructionline standards, as well as being LABC accredited until that scheme was discontinued. We’re delighted to be able to offer a certified system with a proven track record that supports safe loads for students, staff and learning environments across every site.
Sustainability
In educational settings, sustainability matters as much as functionality. We’re proud that Jackpad® is made from 100% recycled plastic and steel, and each pad is fully reusable and recyclable, ensuring your modular classroom foundations leave no waste for landfill. Unlike concrete, which is difficult and messy to install, can only be used once and often requires significant remediation works, our system is deployed time and time again with minimal disruption, helping schools meet sustainability goals while keeping grounds pristine.
