Underpinning can be done in one of two ways: one, improve the foundation system by enlarging the existing foundations or adding new foundations, and two, to improve the properties of the soil below the foundations without touching the building at all.
If the base of the wooden buildings fell on the ground, thus, it would remain intact enough to carry out partial repairs. The design of some rotten base, made of wood, must be replaced or strengthened. This building rises to the desired height, the base built by a block of concrete or brick.
It is necessary to consider the availability of features on the ground, the fundamentals of depth, the type of soil. In addition, when selecting the optimal repair technology or equipment by Underpinning Slab Foundations pays attention to the original design of the base. If the structure is in the foundation of piles, for the repair of most cases a complete pole replacement is required.
Why is Underpinning Necessary?
There is a variety of reasons why underpinning might need to be carried out. These are usually related to subsidence issues. Some examples of why underpinning might be necessary are:
- A change in soil conditions under the foundation.
- Soil characteristics were not properly taken into account during the design phase.
- The original foundation is no longer suitable/strong enough.
- The construction/repair/excavation of neighboring structures endangers the current foundations.
- Additional floors are to be constructed underground
