About Our Site Construction Foundations

Unlike the buildings themselves, which house people and services, our pads are the support system that makes fast, safe installation possible. Jackpad® foundation pads provide stable, level bases for modular buildings of all sizes, from single units to larger multi-unit and multi-storey installations, as you can see from our technical data.

With Jackpad®, there’s no need to dig foundations or pour messy concrete. Instead, our innovative three-part system of adjusters, support blocks and incremental packers sits directly onto most surfaces, with minimal-to-no ground preparation as long as suitable ground-bearing capacity is achieved. Quick to install and easy to adjust, it’s clear why construction sites across the UK rely on Jackpad® to cut costs, save time and reduce disruption compared to traditional construction foundations.

How It Works

The Jackpad® system is made up of three simple components: steel adjusters, robust support blocks and incremental packers. They combine to create strong, reusable construction foundations for modular and portable buildings on construction sites.

Installed directly onto most surfaces, the adjusters provide fine levelling, the blocks take the load and the packers overcome uneven ground. This means everything from single buildings to multi-storey compounds can be sited safely without extensive groundworks. Quick to place and easy to remove, Jackpad® keeps your site flexible and efficient.

Our Awards & Accreditations

Sustainability

Traditional construction foundations for modular and portable buildings have never been particularly sustainable, often requiring the pouring of concrete and significant remedial works to remove it again at the end of each job. With Jackpad®, not only do we completely cut out the need for messy concrete, but our system is also reusable from job to job. Made entirely from recycled plastic and steel, even at the end of their life, they can be recycled to be used again, with zero need for landfill. With Jackpad®, sustainability is assured.
