Jackpad® Foundation Pads

The key consideration is the relationship between load and ground-bearing capacity. Jackpad® foundation pads are designed to sit directly on stable surfaces such as playgrounds, car parks, tarmac, concrete and compacted gravel. The key requirement is bearing capacity, so if needed, our team will advise on simple preparation.

Safe working load (SWL) is the maximum load a unit can safely carry. Each Jackpad® configuration – be it single, double, quadruple or beam – has its own SWL rating, which has been proven through rigorous testing, with a safety margin included. This ensures your modular buildings are always supported within safe limits.

This is tough to answer without knowing more about your project, its size and how many modular units and storeys you expect the installation to consist of. We’re here to ensure you get exactly what you need, so just get in touch with one of the Jackpad® team with some details, and we’ll be able to better guide you.

Yes. Jackpad® was accredited under the LABC Registered Details scheme for 17 years (until its discontinuation in 2021) and has been tested at a UKAS-approved facility. We also hold ISO9001, Constructionline Silver, Constructionline Social Value and SSIP Acclaim Health and Safety certifications, ensuring quality, compliance and proven structural performance.

Jackpad® temporary foundation supports can safely support modular building installations up to three storeys tall, with tested loads of up to 295kN in our beam configuration setups. Whatever your project needs, our team will recommend the right solution to keep your buildings stable, supported and completely secure.
