−	Trench fill foundations are a type of shallow foundation that avoids bricklaying below ground by instead almost completely filling the trench excavation with concrete. Typically, concrete is poured to within ~~15000~~ mm of the surface ground level. This type of foundation minimises the excavation required, as bricklayers are not required to access the trench to lay bricks or blocks. It can also help to reduce the width of the foundation where below ground brickwork would require a wider footing.	+	Trench fill foundations are a type of shallow foundation that avoids bricklaying below ground by instead almost completely filling the trench excavation with concrete.
