Basement / Retaining Walls

The PSS System is a perfect fit for the construction of basements or structural walls

With the Permanent Shuttering System (PSS) vibrated reinforced walls for basements and structural retaining walls, are constructed to the highest standards. The PSS construction techniques are suitable for all types of structures. The walls once constructed will last a lifetime.

After construction, the walls are lined internally with a waterproofing system to prevent water ingress.  This can be achieved through a combination of membranes, water resistant materials, drainage cavities and pumps.

For further information on the best methods available, please contact us.
