A swallow hole appeared beneath the patio area of a domestic bungalow, which undermined the existing foundations. The hole was grouted and then the foundations of the bungalow underpinned to prevent any future settlements.
Piles and reinforced concrete needle beams were installed and constructed beneath the original shallow foundations of a porch extension, which had been constructed on ‘soft’ made ground. The new piled underpinning foundation takes the load of the structure down to suitable bearing strata.
A bungalow suffered subsidence due to localised softening of the bearing strata due to damaged and leaking drainage. Piles and reinforce concrete needle beams were installed externally to the property to prevent further settlement of the structure.
Piled, reinforced concrete ground beams installed on a site to support a small development of domestic dwellings. Piling was required due to poor ground conditions with insufficient bearing capacity.
A restricted access site between two existing properties required mini-piled foundations to prevent undermining of the neighbouring properties by means of deep excavated trenches. Clay ground conditions required an augered mini pile solutions using a small lightweight piling rig.
Due to a tree preservation order, deep excavations were not permitted for the above development and therefore a piled reinforced concrete slab was constructed. This minimised the potential damage to the tree roots and kept the excavations into the ground within the allowed depths.
A challenging site which clients wanted to construct a property on a steep slope. Driven piles were installed using a small rig, which could access the restricted areas. Reinforced concrete ground beams were constructed however ‘steps’ in the beams were required to follow the slope of the ground.
Access to the rear of the property was only available through the existing house. Small hand carried Grundomat piling equipment was brought through the property into the rear garden allowing the foundations and extension to be constructed.
Due to the presence of drainage running underneath the proposed conservatory piled foundations were utilised to allow the foundations to be cast so that the foundation could ’span’ over the drainage without damaging it.
A new extension was constructed to the front and rear of a property, which had been constructed on piles, therefore a piled solution was required. 150mm diameter bottom driven steel cased mini piles installed using a Grundomat piling hammer and reinforced ground beams were constructed and cast to support the new extensions.
