UNDERPINNING

Navigating the Intricacies of Underpinning with Expertise

Underpinning is a construction technique used to strengthen and stabilize the foundation of an existing building or structure. This process is typically necessary when the original foundation is unable to support the building due to changes in the soil characteristics, increased loads, or construction of nearby structures that alter the ground conditions. Underpinning involves extending the foundation in depth or width so it rests on more supportive soil or distributes the load across a larger area. Methods of underpinning include the use of mass concrete, underpinning pits, piled underpinning, and other techniques depending on the situation and the desired outcome.

Underpinning is a sophisticated and crucial process that demands meticulous planning and precise coordination with project engineers.
