Quick answer
VivaMore uses a raft foundation and C35 concrete in accordance with the geotechnical report; ground was broken on 12 June 2026. Documents can be requested from the sales support team. These three elements determine how the building's load is distributed across the ground and the strength of its concrete.
What is ground investigation and why does it matter?
Ground investigation involves borehole drilling and laboratory work to determine the site's bearing capacity and ground classification. Foundation type and depth are selected based on this report. VivaMore's report is available on request from the sales support team.
What is a raft foundation?
A raft foundation is a reinforced concrete slab covering the building's entire footprint; it spreads loads over a wide area to reduce differential settlement.
What does C35 concrete mean?
C35 is a concrete grade with a characteristic cylinder compressive strength of 35 MPa at 28 days. Test results for samples from site concrete pours are retained by the project team.
How can I view the documents?
Documents covering the raft foundation, C35 concrete and geotechnical report can be requested from the sales support team.
