Your modular building I-Beams act as your primary foundation, but these steel members do not provide
support between each module.  You can choose from a wide variety of foundation designs to support 
the mateline, but the type you need for your specific modular building will depend upon your 
overall project objectives.  Call us at 866-266-4622 to discuss your project.

 The pictures above show a perimeter grade beam, poured concrete pier and a perimeter footer at grade
ready to receive a block stem wall.  All three of these options require specialized installation. 

Addressing mateline stress is the most critical element in a modular foundation design

The picture on the left is a strip footer foundation at grade.  This economical design provides 
support between modules because each strip is poured perpendicular to the I-Beam frames.  The
center picture above is one example of a mechanical pier support system.  These can be used as 
either temporary or permanent installations.  The picture on the right shows a site constructed 
pipe sleeve foundation design.  The steel pipe is imbedded in cement and permanently welded 
to the modular I-Beam frame. 
Below are three pictures showing the construction process of a typical strip footer.
