Recent deployments at UK military barracks are showcasing how FloorStak’s innovative support and levelling system is helping contractors overcome one of the most persistent challenges in temporary infrastructure: creating perfectly level, safe and stable flooring on uneven ground.

As the UK Government and defence industry place greater emphasis on strengthening domestic supply chains and increasing SME participation, British manufacturers with proven engineering solutions are finding new opportunities to support military and defence-related projects.

For FloorStak, a registered brand of Regent Engineering, recent visits to military barracks across the UK have demonstrated how its support and levelling technology can provide a practical solution for the rapid installation of field tents and temporary accommodation structures.

The system is designed to eliminate the limitations traditionally associated with challenging ground conditions. Whether deployed on hardstanding, sloping terrain, car parks or uneven surfaces, FloorStak enables contractors to create a perfectly level platform with height adjustments ranging from just 200mm up to an impressive 1,650mm.

Unlike conventional approaches that often require extensive ground preparation, excavation or additional temporary works, FloorStak’s adjustable support system allows installers to adapt quickly to site conditions while maintaining structural integrity and safety.

Stuart Whitehouse, Managing Director of Regent Engineering, said:

“The true beauty of FloorStak is its ability to remove ground conditions as a constraint. Whether we’re dealing with a slight slope or a significant level difference, the system allows us to create a perfectly level structure every time.”

“We can accommodate height variations from 200mm right through to 1,650mm, which means contractors no longer have to compromise on location or invest heavily in site preparation. We simply adjust, align and create a stable platform.”

The technology has been developed specifically for temporary structures and integrates directly with flooring systems, providing a robust foundation capable of supporting demanding applications. The FloorStak support and levelling system is suitable for uneven and sloping ground, integrates with temporary structures and flooring systems, and has been structurally verified for use in challenging environments.

The recent military projects highlight a wider opportunity emerging within the defence sector. As outlined in the newly launched Practical Guide to Working in Defence from Make UK Defence and Lloyds, SMEs with specialist engineering expertise are increasingly being encouraged to enter defence supply chains and contribute innovative solutions to longstanding operational challenges.

Whitehouse believes products such as FloorStak are well positioned to support this shift.

“The defence sector needs practical engineering solutions that can be deployed quickly, reliably and repeatedly in demanding environments. That’s exactly what FloorStak was designed to do. The feedback we’ve received from military installations has reinforced the value of having a system that can adapt to virtually any ground condition while maintaining speed of installation.”

Manufactured in the UK by Regent Engineering, FloorStak has built its reputation across the temporary structures sector, supporting applications ranging from event infrastructure and hospitality venues to access systems, walkways and elevated flooring platforms. The system’s modular design, rapid installation and ability to minimise transport requirements have made it an attractive option for organisations operating in time-critical environments.

As defence spending increases and the Government continues to encourage greater SME participation, innovative British manufacturers are expected to play an increasingly important role in delivering specialist infrastructure solutions.

For FloorStak, recent military deployments offer a clear example of how engineering expertise developed in commercial markets can translate into valuable capabilities for the defence sector, helping create safe, level and reliable temporary structures wherever they are needed.
