D Hall Plant Hire & Groundworks completed comprehensive groundworks for a Nudura ICF (Insulated Concrete Formwork) double garage self-build project in Callington, Cornwall. This innovative project combined traditional groundworks expertise with modern sustainable building techniques.
What is Nudura ICF?
Nudura is an Insulated Concrete Formwork system that provides exceptional thermal performance and structural strength. The system uses interlocking foam blocks that are filled with reinforced concrete, creating highly insulated, durable walls. For this self-build garage project, proper groundworks were essential to provide a solid foundation for the ICF construction.
Initial Groundworks
We began with site excavation and preparation for the garage footprint. The ground was excavated to the required depth, with proper attention to drainage and compaction to ensure a stable base for the foundation works.

Foundation Construction
Strip foundations were excavated and poured to provide a level, stable base for the Nudura ICF blocks. The foundations were reinforced and constructed to building regulation standards, with careful attention to ensuring the correct levels for the ICF system installation.

Concrete Base Installation
Once the foundations cured, we prepared and poured the concrete base slab for the garage floor. The slab was reinforced with steel mesh, properly insulated underneath, and finished to a high standard ready for the garage to be used.

Self-Build Support
Working on self-build projects requires excellent communication and flexibility. We worked closely with the self-builder throughout the groundworks phase, ensuring all aspects met their specifications and providing guidance where needed. The professional groundworks provided a perfect platform for the Nudura ICF construction to proceed smoothly.
