While foundations provide the necessary footings to root a building to the ground, oversites are fundamental in making the structure stable. Creating a flush, solid concrete, finish that sits between the foundations and the floor's surface. Providing essential strength and protecting the integrity of a building while creating a fully airtight seal that irradiates moisture penetration.
Although commonly used in the construction of commercial buildings, the oversites process is also applicable in residential development. Helping to level the ground with a solid foundation, once the footings have been established, and preparing each new home for flooring.
Using a combination of compacted hardcore and sand, topped off with damp proofing measures, before applying the concrete pour. All of which helps to keep the oversites layer watertight and secure.
