Base Plates FAQs

What is a Base Plate in steel?

A Base Plate is a rectangular, flat plate that is usually used as a support or foundation for structures such as columns and poles. BM Steel stocks high quality Base Plates in various sizes.

What are the sizes of steel Base Plates?

Steel Base Plates are available in various sizes. Our most popular sizes are from 150 x 150 x 6mm to 500 x 500 x 20mm. We can also have Base Plates made to spec. Please contact our friendly team for bespoke orders.

How thick should Base Plates be?

A good rule of thumb regarding Base Plate thickness is the larger the area of the Base Plate, the thicker the plate must be. Our Base Plates range from 6mm to 20mm thick.

What is the purpose of a Base Plate?

A Base Plate is designed to evenly distribute the load and weight of the structure it supports over a larger area. This prevents the structure’s foundation from shifting or sinking over time. Base Plates are welded or bolted into place. They’re commonly found in building construction, towers, bridges, and other large structures.

What is the difference between a Base Plate and a Sole Plate?

The main difference between Base Plates and Sole Plates is that Sole Plates are grouted into a concrete foundation. Base Plates are bolted or welded in place. Base Plates support the structure itself, while Sole Plates distribute the load from the Base Plate to the ground.
