Building Foundations Explained In Birmingham
There is literally nothing more essential to a building than its foundations. In very real terms, poor foundations can cost lives and money, and so it’s essential that new builds have professionally built foundations, and existing weak foundations are reinforced immediately. Due to the ever changing weather in Britain, many foundations become weak overtime, or are constructed in the wrong conditions and this is where experts in foundations Birmingham like A&R Piling and Foundations LTD come into their own. We offer a range of services in foundations and groundwork that are indispensible to a host of domestic and commercial clients.
In basic terms, piling is the method by which deep foundations are created. If surface soil is unsuitable for shallow foundations, or the building in question requires a more heavy duty foundation, then companies like A&R Piling can step in.
There are two main methods with differing benefits. The first involves drilling a shaft and then driving piles (made from reinforced concrete or steel) into them using various machines. The second forces the pile downward with no pre-drilling. A pile cap can then be used to distribute the weight of the proposed building evenly over these piles.
Here at A&R we repair weak foundations quickly and effectively. We also provide foundations for new builds of all kinds, utilising 30 years of experience to deliver professionalism every time. We pride ourselves on being able to build foundations for home extensions where competitors can’t; our mini piling capabilities allow us to complete jobs in confined spaces.
If you’re in the design stage for new builds, extensions, conservatories or even industrial units, why not contact the highly qualified team here at A&R Piling and we’ll give you a live, on site demonstration of what we offer in foundations Birmingham, in addition to advice on the quality of the soil at the proposed site.
