FOUNDATION ENGINEERING




Latest technology designs in piling and ground anchoring solutions, soil retention and stabilization systems, shoring, underpinning and jacking solution.

We can provide certification for most foundation, soil stabilization, ground retention, piling and anchoring designs and works through to load testing regime

SHALLOW FOUNDATIONS




Sometimes called 'spread footings, include pads, strip footings and rafts.

Shallow foundations are used when surface soils are sufficiently strong, dense or stiff to support the imposed loads; they are generally unsuitable in weak or highly compressible soils, such as poorly-compacted fill, peat, soft clay, loose sand, etc.

DEEP FOUNDATIONS




Include piles (cast-in-place-drilled piles, driven piles, micro piles and H-piles), pile walls, diaphragm walls and caissons.

Deep foundations can be used to transfer the loading to a deeper, more competent strata at depth if unsuitable soils are present near the surface.

MAT FOUNDATIONS



Are shallow spread foundations consisting of a single slab covering the supporting stratum beneath the entire supported superstructure.

EARTH RETAINING SYSTEMS




Retaining walls or shoring, are designed for either permanent subterranean or retaining walls system.

Retaining walls system should be designed to resist lateral earth pressures from the soils with or without consideration of hydrostatic pressure behind the walls.
