Reinforced concrete foundations for everything a renewable site stands on — transformers and switchgear, BESS units, inverters, CCTV columns, met masts and more. Engineered to carry the load, self-delivered by our own teams.
Get in TouchA renewable site is full of equipment that has to sit on something solid — transformers and switchgear, battery units, inverters, security cameras, weather stations. Each needs a foundation engineered for its weight, its loads and the ground it stands on.
HWBC self-delivers reinforced concrete foundations and bases of all shapes and sizes — from heavy transformer and BESS bases through to slim CCTV and met-mast bases — built to tolerance and ready to receive the unit.
Heavy reinforced bases and plinths for transformers, switchgear, RMUs and control kiosks, set to tolerance with cast-in ducts.
Robust bases engineered to carry the concentrated weight of battery energy storage units and stay stable over the long term.
Bases and plinths for inverters and associated equipment, sized and positioned to the layout.
Smaller reinforced bases for CCTV columns and security infrastructure around the site perimeter.
Bases for weather stations and meteorological masts, set level and to specification.
Bunded foundations and containment bases where equipment requires spill protection or retention.
A base is only doing its job if it carries the load and stays put. We build reinforced foundations — rebar cages, timber shuttering, cast-in ducts and fixings — set level and to tolerance so the unit drops straight on and stands for years.
Because we self-deliver the groundworks around them too, the bases tie cleanly into the cable routes, drainage and access that surround them.

Set out the base to the layout and loads, and excavate the foundation to the required depth.
Fix rebar cages, set timber shuttering and position cast-in ducts and fixings.
Pour, finish and cure the concrete, leaving a base set level and to tolerance.
HWBC built the reinforced concrete foundations for a combined switchgear and transformer unit — rebar cages and column formwork through to a finished base with cast-in duct entries — then prepared and supported the crane lift that set the unit in place.
