Foundation and support
When the existing slab qualifies, Insta-Footing avoids cutting, excavation, formwork, concrete mixing and placement, and curing delays. Compare plate options, then verify the load and slab conditions against the current engineering report.
A faster alternative to a formed concrete footing
When the existing concrete slab and supporting conditions qualify, Insta-Footing replaces the cut-excavate-form-pour-and-wait process with an engineered steel plate installed directly on the slab.
No saw-cutting and removing a section of the existing slab.
No digging below the slab or hauling excavated material away.
No footing formwork, concrete mixing, or concrete placement.
No waiting for a newly poured footing to cure before the next step.
Compare the installation path
Qualification matters: Insta-Footing is not a substitute for every footing. The existing slab, concrete strength, slab thickness and condition, support beneath the slab, distance from slab edges, post load, and plate selection must satisfy the current design report and installation requirements.
Engineered structural solution
Install an engineered steel footing plate on a qualifying existing slab without cutting the slab, excavating, building forms, mixing or pouring concrete, or waiting for a new footing to cure.
Important Product Documents
Review the available engineering, installation, and selection documents before ordering or beginning work.
Application first
Review the basic application and limits below. The current design report and installation instructions remain the technical source of truth.
A qualifying project avoids slab cutting, footing excavation, formwork, a concrete pour, cleanup, and curing time.
Fewer labor steps, less equipment, fewer materials, and less downtime can make Insta-Footing more affordable than a conventional poured footing.
The design report assumes minimum 2,500 psi concrete and other slab, support, edge-distance, load, and installation criteria.
How the system works
The steel plate spreads a concentrated column load over a larger area of qualifying existing concrete. Because the system is positioned and anchored on the slab, it can eliminate the demolition, excavation, forming, pouring, and curing sequence required for a conventional new footing.
