Why the Right Foundation Matters More Than You Think:

When building your dream home, it’s easy to focus on what you can see like architecture, interiors, finishes. But the most important part is often the one you’ll never see again: the foundation.
It’s tempting to look for savings here. But a house is only as strong as the ground it stands on. Cutting corners below ground can mean settlement, cracking, water ingress, and costly remedial work above it.
Kitchens and finishes can be upgraded later. Foundations can’t. They need to be right from day one.
At Glatthaar Keller UK, every project is different :traditional foundations, basements, challenging ground conditions, complex engineering. We find the right solution for each one, built for long-term stability, safety, and value.

In some situations and places, shelter matters. What do we mean by that . We design and construct Bunkers. They are robust, reinforced concrete structures built to last for security and protection.

Special equipment, valuables , the thing you bought and don’t want to share with parter or family (yet).

Or think of save room, wine cellar and high- security space , our precast technology delivers exceptional strength, fire resistance and integrated waterproofing and a rapid controlled construction.

When does shelter matters for you?

Glatthaar Keller GmbH & Co. KG has completed its 90,000th project in 46 years .
On two neighbouring plots, our teams installed two AquaSafe® basements with external insulation almost simultaneously,assembled in just two days. For the team on site, it was a tightly choreographed operation. For the families building their dream homes, it was a major step closer to moving in.
These projects also proof how far the the prefabricated basement process has gone. For example the concrete feature wall, manufactured off-site and lifted into place by crane with millimetre precision , built to support a floating timber staircase. One miscalculation, and the wall could have been damaged beyond repair.

Delivering Sustainable Basement Solutions in the UK 🇬🇧

We are proud to have successfully completed another basement project showcasing both technical precision and a strong commitment to sustainable construction.

This project incorporated a combined Type B (structurally integral) and Type C (drained protection) waterproofing system, ensuring long-term durability and resilience against groundwater while offering a high level of security for the structure.

A key highlight of the construction methodology was the installation of the reinforced concrete walls directly in front of the piling wall, eliminating the need for additional working space. This approach not only optimises site efficiency in constrained urban environments but also significantly reduces excavation volumes, material usage, and associated carbon impact.

Sustainability was further enhanced by the integration of 120 mm insulation beneath the base slab and to the external walls, improving the building’s thermal performance and contributing to long-term energy efficiency.

The basement is protected by a robust and redundant pumping strategy:
- A Type C cavity drain system with a twin pump arrangement
- A separate twin pump system for wastewater management
All pumps were supplied by Kessel (Germany), ensuring high reliability, energy efficiency, and compliance with the latest technical standards.

This project underlines our continued focus on delivering innovative, space-efficient, and sustainable basement solutions, tailored to the complex requirements of modern construction in the UK.

Two nurseries. 130 childcare places. One seamlessly delivered project. 🏗️
We recently completed a full groundworks package for 2 new nurseries in Hamm, Germany. The project required precision, coordination, and the experience that comes from decades of large-scale public works.
Our client chose as their single-contractor . A one stop solution.

Glatthaar Keller recently completed a large scale commercial-grade hybrid basement in Schwerin in Germany. An underground car park, lift pit, stairwell, 40 tonnes of steel and 322 m³ of concrete, built under demanding urban conditions with Berlin-type shoring and a bespoke groundwater waterproofing solution.
The result? Delivered on time. On budget. As promised.

What does a 16-apartment development in northern Germany have to do with your next UK project? 🇩🇪➡️🇬🇧

The project demonstrates the power of factory-manufactured precast elements for commercial projects: fixed pricing, guaranteed scheduling, and significantly reduced on-site risk.

We’re now applying this capability to commercial projects across the UK. Speak to our team about what Glatthaar Keller can deliver for your development.🔗 Link in bio 📞 01932 344454

Twin-wall System.

The increasing complexity of modern construction projects has led to a growing demand for industrially, prefabricated, reliable and rapidly installable components . Thomas Salomon of explains the technical principles , production methods and advantages of the system.

It is good to be contributing with a real case study to the article and to explain the benefits that make prefabricated basements the smart choice for modern construction.

From a 398m² residential basement in Schwerin to a fully precast basement-tunnel-pool system, the article showcases what’s possible with factory precision precast elements.

The recent Cooper project demonstrates how a fully precast basement system can streamline the delivery of complex below-ground structures, even when multiple functional zones must be integrated into a single build sequence.

Designed by and the pool contractor, the scheme required Glatthaar Keller to engineer and construct three connected elements: a plant-room basement, a linking tunnel, and the outer shell of a swimming-pool structure. Although the architectural concept was already fixed, Glatthaar was responsible for structural calculations, production drawings and the complete precast delivery. The team also constructed the ground-bearing slab.
