Types of building foundations
Shallow foundations
Embedded around a meter into the soil, shallow foundations transfer load weights to soil or bedrock below the frost line. Spread footings consist of strips or pads of concrete ideal for residential housing constructions, whilst the simpler slab-on-grade which lays a solid slab of concrete is perfect for smaller outbuildings, garages, and garden sheds.
Deep foundations
Used in exceptionally large buildings or those built on an unstable surface, deep foundations penetrate much further into the floor for increased stability utilising a range of methods including impact driven piles, drilled shafts, piers, and earth stabilised columns. Ideal for most commercial and industrial buildings, our engineers offer a complete survey and consultation to help you choose the right foundation for your building and ground surface.
