Ground Stabilisation

Advanced groundworking is required to ensure a solid foundation which will be solid for years to come.

Excavations & Sub-structure works

We can make excavations to ensure the ground is well prepared before doing any further ground work.

Basements

Solid constructed basements done to a high standard and prepared in the right way to ensure safety.

Ground Stabilisation

Stabilising soils with binders is an eco-friendly and cost effective method of producing durable structural layers that produce a high bearing capacity.

Ground stabilisation or soil stabilisation is the process of making changes to the soil to improve its ability to bear weight and to increase its tensile strength. This creates a more reliable basis for building and construction works and can remedy existing issues with earth and subsoils that are causing problems.

Having strong foundations under your business premises should not be underestimated, as foundations collapsing can cause catastrophic damage. Being proactive can prevent this from happening. If you’ve got problems with sinking foundations, you should act as quickly as possible to make sure that your building remains stable and safe.

Why Is Excavation Important in Construction?

Building a good foundation doesn’t just rely on quality concrete. To ensure that your structure is built on solid ground, excavation before construction is a must. A properly excavated land will be able to support and withstand the stress of your infrastructure.

This process doesn’t just rely on the use of heavy equipment. It’s also important to consider the unique characteristics of your commercial building.
Soil stability, water tables, soil moisture, and even the backfill quality all need to be inspected and assessed before establishing each foundation.

Dependent on your project your building may require various types of excavation:

Site Clearing. Often the first step in any construction work, site clearing involves moving earth, rock, and boulders away from the site. It also includes the removal of unwanted trees, plants, and other landscapes.
Site Preparation. Excavation tools, equipment, and other materials are used to dig out and prepare the land. This process is done to ensure proper drainage and soil preparation before the project begins.
Drainage and Trenching. Trenches must also be dug for the sewer drainage pipes. This is a vital step in the process as the sewer drainage pipes are very important to the excavation process.
Driveway Excavation. This process includes the removal of shrubs, trees, and boulders to establish a levelled driveway. Even in this type of excavation, proper drainage is highly considered.

Basements

Concrete is the most common and appropriate material used in the construction of new basement walls and floors. This is due in part to cost and availability but also its inherent resistance to water, durability underground and ability to provide a stable structural surface for the support of waterproofing membranes.

The method of construction chosen will depend upon consideration of a range of factors, such as the type of construction system permitted, according to water table and use, accessibility for labour and cranes and cost. Most forms of concrete construction can provide a variety of wall thicknesses to suit the particular structural requirements of each basement.

Concrete is inherently water-resistant and robust, making it suitable for subterranean construction. Its water resistance can be further enhanced by the introduction of admixtures. These admixtures (hydrophobic and pore blocking) act to reverse the capillary or ‘sucking’ action of the tiny capillaries on the concrete surface and to effectively block the pores within the concrete, when subjected to hydrostatic pressure. The result is a dry concrete that protects from water ingress. Such proprietary concrete mixes are available for this purpose.

Additional water-resistant membranes or ventilation may be considered, depending upon site conditions, proposed use and client or designers’ assessment of requirements.
