WHAT IS JACKPAD®?

Manufactured from recycled plastic, Jackpad® is a reusable foundation system having the ability to support modular buildings of all manufacture in various single, double and treble storey configurations.

Designed to be used in both temporary and permanent situations, Jackpad® is fully calculated and is accredited by Building Control – see LABC Registered Details.

Incorporating incremental packers, the Jackpad® system is able to overcome fall of ground on site and give infinite adjustment.

… a proven alternative to concrete

True – Accredited by the Local Building Authority Control and tested at UCAS approved testing facility make Jackpad a real alternative.

Jackpad is commercially attractive when compared to traditional foundations especially when taking into account Jackpad’s reusability and reduced reinstatement costs.

The varying setups enable the system to support single,double and treble storey modular buildings (subject to loads).

The definition of a permanent modular building is something of a grey area. Jackpad has been supporting temporary and “permanent” modular buildings since 2000.

The Jackpad system has successfully supported modular buildings on a multitude of surfaces, including tarmacadam, concrete, grass, shingle, all weather pitches and a ploughed field. The important factor is the bearing capacity of the ground.

“We found Jackpad through the internet and so had no prior knowledge of them. From start to finish they were very helpful and professional and the Jackpads for our 12 bay modular building were set out and levelled in half a day. They have a great product and offer a great service, I recommend them.”

Jo Breare

“We chose Jackpad as a quick, convenient alternative to traditional concrete foundations thereby avoiding the disruption and associated mess laying concrete creates.  The service delivered was great and the product was also terrific.”

Jo Breare | Facilities Manager, Covent Garden Market Authority

Lloyd Maddon

“We found the Jackpad system a really safe and efficient alternative to the traditional option of installing concrete pads to support temporary cabins/office units.  The system was easy to install, flexible and offered flexibility to the installation process.  It also mitigated the health and safety hazards (manual handling/Coshh) associated with the alternative concrete solution.  I would not hesitate to recommend it.”

Lloyd Maddon | Costain Natural Resources Division

Mike Marks

“Jackpad were recommended to our business by several prominent modular building companies as a viable alternative to traditional groundwork based methods of supporting our new nursery in Poole. Their solution is both cost effective and practical and helped us to sidestep cost implications of differing floor levels and variable building designs. It also saved us in excess of 40% when compared to the cost of traditional building works. And lastly it is great to know that the system is reusable!  From site survey to design, supply and implementation their dedication to our project was exemplary. Thanks to the Jackpad team for their valuable support!”

Mike Marks | First Steps Nursery Ltd, Poole

Martin Jackson

“When Ascot Racecourse approached us saying they needed a building to be used as a ticket office and that it need to be relocated twice a year then the only foundation option was Jackpad. The system allows us to remove the building and foundations leaving no trace, we believe this is the only foundation system that can offer this. ”
