Wide Span Sheds are a common structure across North Canterbury's rural and semi-rural properties - used for machinery storage, hay barns, workshops, and commercial operations. They require a substantial concrete slab on a properly prepared and compacted platform. Getting the earthworks right is critical to the long-term performance of both the slab and the structure above it.
TBT Earthworks is a recommended contractor for Wide Span Sheds Canterbury, which means the team is familiar with the specific formation requirements these structures demand - including correct depth, compaction standards, and drainage allowances.
What Wide Span Shed Earthworks Involve
The preparation for a large shed platform typically includes: stripping of topsoil and vegetation, bulk earthmoving to establish the formation level, compaction of the subgrade, and placement of aggregate sub-base in compacted layers to the required depth. Drainage is also critical - a shed platform that traps water will undermine the subgrade over time. TBT ensures correct fall and drainage is built into the formation before handover to the concrete crew.
