FlexEfoot
Linear Support Systems for:
- Generator Enclosures (FlexEgen™)
- Electrical Buildings (FlexEhouse™)
- Battery Energy Storage Systems (FlexEpod™)
- Large Modular Buildings (FlexEstack™)
- Cooling Modules (FlexEcool™)
DeliversThe building sits on the corners. The services run underneath. The project moves faster.
FlexEfoot™ is a range of engineered support beams and pedestal systems designed to support modular electrical buildings, generator enclosures, E-Houses and BESS containers through their ISO corner castings. Unlike traditional slab foundations, FlexEfoot™ uses strategically positioned structural support assemblies beneath the container corners, reducing civil works while maintaining full structural integrity and providing unrestricted access for cables, pipework and drainage beneath the building.

- Pedestal material
- Galvanised structural steel
- Corrosion protection
- ISO 12944 C3 minimum; C4/C5-M optional
- Finish
- Shot-blast + 2-pack epoxy or hot-dip galvanised
Installation
- Site installation
- Position pads, set pedestals, lower enclosure onto corner castings
- Programme
- Significantly reduced vs traditional slab construction
- Temporary install
- Suitable — modular and relocatable
- Service access
- Unrestricted underfloor void for cables, pipework and drainage
Scope
Standard, optional and what we never do
Standard
Included on every FlexEfoot unit.
- Engineered support beams and pedestal assemblies sized and rated to the enclosure footprint and load
- ISO corner casting interface — support positioned beneath each container corner
- Creates elevated service void beneath the enclosure
- Requires only discrete concrete or surface pads — not a full reinforced slab
Optional extras
Specified per project, costed as add-ons.
- Threaded adjustable pedestals for levelling on uneven ground
- Enhanced load ratings for heavy equipment
- Corrosion-resistant finishes for harsh or marine environments
- Fixed (non-adjustable) variants for pre-levelled foundations
- Custom spans and configurations for non-standard footprints
Exclusions
Out of scope — owned by other trades.
- Foundation design or groundworks engineering
- Civil preparation of the concrete pads or base beneath the feet
- Cable trench design or excavation
- Drainage pipework beyond the underfloor void
