Experts in providing portable foundations for modular buildings, Jackpad, has completed a project for Skanska at the new Birmingham free school, King Solomon International Business School.  

The company specialises in supplying portable foundations that replace the need for concrete foundations for modular and portable buildings.  

Based in Leicestershire, Jackpad has worked in the education, healthcare and construction sectors for many years and last year was recognised for product innovation at the Offsite Construction Awards.

Jonathan Cottrell, Construction Manager for Skanska said: "The Jackpad system was ideal for this project; we needed a quick solution which could also cope with different ground levels."

His colleague Victoria Raftery, Skanska Contract Supervisor added: “I was delighted with the speed and ease with which the foundation pads were laid, the whole system was set up within four days and it meant a smooth process for installation of the temporary buildings."
