Product catalog summary
Project Overview:
Cornish Concrete Products (CCP) designed, supplied, and installed a basement for the HIGHwood House project in Alton using a "double wall" precast/insitu concrete hybrid system. This method combines the benefits of precast concrete with the durability of insitu concrete, allowing for a high-quality finish suitable for direct decoration.

Construction Method:
The double wall units consist of two 60mm thick precast leaves connected by steel lattice girders, creating a cavity filled with insitu concrete. This system is lightweight and fast to install, eliminating the need for expensive on-site shuttering as the leaves serve as permanent reinforced formwork. The process ensures a monolithic structure once the concrete hardens.

Waterproofing and Warranty:
Waterproofing is critical in basement construction, and CCP incorporates necessary waterstops and membranes into the design. They also offer a warranty for the installed basement and a pre-insulated option.

Advantages of Basements:
  • Increased living space
  • Enhanced property values
  • Better land utilization
  • Improved use of sloping sites

Environmental and Quality Standards:
CCP is committed to environmental responsibility, accredited with ISO14001 and BES6001 for responsible sourcing. Their Ecocrete product line, with at least 85% secondary content, minimizes environmental impact. CCP also holds ISO9001 for quality management.
