Reinforced Concrete Structures

Our reinforced concrete division has a 40-year history of delivering complex concrete structures. Self-delivery is a key element of our capability, and we have the knowledge, personnel and plant to provide every element of the works. We are highly experienced in the water and wastewater industries, have expertise in basement structures and podiums, and have high levels of capability in high-rise structures and hybrid construction methodology.

Our concrete capability includes the full scope of construction, from basements and foundations through to retaining walls, tanks, substructure and superstructure. We have expertise in waterproof concrete, and our technical expertise encompasses all elements of precast, hybrid and in-situ construction, working for both public and private sector clients.

Our in situ and precast expertise includes:

Foundations, including pilecaps, ring beams, ground bearing slabs, suspended slabs and strip footings

Reinforced concrete frames and core construction

Water retaining structures, CSO chambers, tanks, bases, channels and foundations for the water and wastewater industry

Substructures, including retaining walls, swimming pools, basement construction and capping beams

Bridge construction, including the substructure, superstructure and parapets.

In-house delivery

Self-delivery forms the foundation of our approach, and everyone from our steel fixers to our joiners and concrete gangs is a Westshield employee. This approach is further supported by our service yard at Bredbury, which is home to a comprehensive range of company-owned proprietary formwork and falsework systems.

The service yard has an undercover workshop with a 30t gantry crane and an inspection pit for vehicle servicing. The yard provides an enormous opportunity for DfMA (off-site manufacture), with over two acres of hard standing where we can prefabricate reinforcement and precast concrete elements for ‘just-in-time’ delivery to the site.
