Commercial Foundation Construction Winnipeg

Your Winnipeg Commercial Foundation Specialists

Commercial foundations are fundamentally different from residential ones—they’re larger, heavier, and must account for a variety of load types, soil conditions, and usage demands. At Assured Foundations, we have the expertise, equipment, and manpower to complete commercial foundation projects of all sizes—from small retail storefronts to large-scale industrial builds.

Our services include:

• Engineering consultation and stamped drawings

• Excavation and site grading

• Poured concrete slabs, footings, walls, and piers

• Frost-protected shallow foundations

• Grade beam with pile systems

• Foundation waterproofing and insulation

• Code-compliant formwork and rebar installation

• Cold-weather concrete pouring

Types of Commercial Foundations We Build

We tailor every commercial foundation to the building’s purpose, soil condition, and structural demands. Here are the most common types we construct:

1. Grade Beam with Piles

Grade beams supported by driven or cast-in-place piles are the go-to choice for many commercial builds in Winnipeg.

Used For:

• Large industrial warehouses

• Commercial infill projects

• Unstable or clay-heavy soil conditions

• Frost-prone locations

We work with geotechnical engineers to determine pile depth, spacing, and load capacity. Our team handles everything from augering to concrete pouring and beam reinforcement.

2. Thickened Edge Slab-on-Grade

This cost-effective method works well for commercial buildings that don’t require a basement.

Ideal For:

• Strip malls

• Auto shops and mechanic bays

• Warehouses and distribution centers

• Storage facilities

We use laser leveling, high-strength concrete, and rebar grids to ensure slab performance under heavy commercial traffic.

3. Full Basement Foundation (Poured Concrete Walls)

Some commercial structures need full-depth basements for storage, mechanical rooms, or tenant spaces.

Includes:

• Deep excavation

• Reinforced concrete walls

• Waterproofing systems

• Drainage (weeping tile and sump systems)

• Optional interior frost walls

4. ICF (Insulated Concrete Form) Commercial Foundations

For businesses prioritizing energy efficiency and thermal performance, ICF is becoming a preferred option.

Great For:

• Commercial buildings with long heating seasons

• Clinics, schools, and daycares

• Net-zero or green-certified builds

We install ICF from footing to grade beam or full wall, with expert integration into MEP systems and building envelopes.

Our Process

1. Site Assessment & Engineering Collaboration

We assess your lot, perform soil testing if needed, and coordinate with structural engineers to finalize a stamped foundation design.

2. Excavation & Ground Prep

We dig, level, and compact your site to required specs, ensuring frost protection and drainage.

3. Forming, Rebar & Pouring

We use commercial-grade formwork, tie wire, chairs, and rebar cages to ensure code-compliant strength. Concrete is poured using boom pumps and vibrated for consistency.

4. Curing, Backfill & Site Clean-Up

Concrete is protected and cured properly (even in winter), followed by careful backfilling and compaction. Your site is left clean and ready for framing.
