Custom Plinths.
Cast to your engineer's specification, not ours.
Bespoke precast plinths and equipment bases for transformers, standby generators, switchgear, EV chargers and process plant. C40/50 concrete, manufactured in compliance with applicable British Standards. Cuboid units under 6 tonnes handling weight and under 2.6m across a lorry trailer — ask us to check feasibility before you specify anything heavier or larger.
Send us your engineer's drawing, the manufacturer schedule, the cable-entry pattern and the geotechnical data — we will return a shop drawing for sign-off and a quote.
We cast to the equipment schedule and base drawing you send us — transformer, switchgear, genset or container plinth — and we deliver UK-wide.

Specification
Common base types and weight ranges.
These are our recurring base types — every plinth we cast is bespoke, but the families below cover most of the work. Send us the engineer's specification and we will quote against your exact loading, cable-entry pattern and bund detail.
| Variant | Footprint | Typical weight | Typical use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Plinths generally | Cuboid, sized to suit — up to 2.6m across a lorry trailer | Under 6 tonnes handling weight | Transformer, switchgear, pump/chiller and similar equipment bases |
| Cable trough plinth | Modular 1.0m (3ft3in) segments | 0.3 – 0.5 t / m (661 – 1,102 lb/m) | Trefoil cable runs feeding a plinth |
Cast-in items — lifting sockets, earth bonds, conduit sleeves, oil-bund kerbs, levelling shims — coordinated to your engineer's drawing. We issue a shop drawing for sign-off before we cut moulds.
Conformity documentation, mix design data and cube test results are available on request.
