Different Types of Building Foundation
Shallow Foundations
Shallow foundations are ideal for structures with lighter loads and stable soil conditions. They are cost-effective and easier to construct. Our shallow foundation services include:
- Spread Footings: These support individual columns and distribute the load evenly across the soil.
- Strip Footings: Used along the length of load-bearing walls, strip footings provide continuous support.
- Raft Foundations: Also known as mat foundations, these involve a large concrete slab that supports multiple columns and walls, distributing the load uniformly.
Deep Foundations
For projects requiring greater load capacity or dealing with weaker soils, our deep foundation solutions are essential. These include:
- Pile Foundations: Piles are driven deep into the ground, transferring load to deeper, stronger soil layers. They can be made of steel, concrete, or timber.
- Drilled Shafts: Large-diameter shafts are drilled into the ground and filled with concrete, providing exceptional load-bearing capacity.
- Caissons: Watertight retaining structures used in underwater construction or in areas with high groundwater levels.
Specialised Foundation Solutions
Beyond standard shallow and deep foundations, Integrated Designs offers specialised services to address unique challenges and enhance foundation performance:
- Ground Improvement Techniques: Methods like soil stabilisation, compaction, and grouting improve soil properties, making it more suitable for construction.
- Retaining Walls: Essential for sites with significant elevation changes, retaining walls prevent soil erosion and provide structural support.
- Basement Construction: We design and build secure, dry, and stable basements, adding valuable space to your property while maintaining structural integrity.
