What this work involves
Coordinate ground investigation with foundation design, equipment access and potential effects on neighbouring structures.
- Ground investigation and pile layout
- Equipment and working space
- Neighbouring-condition records and monitoring
Use the following design considerations when coordinating this service with a wider project. Agree which parts apply to your request.
Investigate existing connections before attaching new structural elements.
What the drawing needs to explain
Mark intact, damaged and unassessed areas on photographs. Add the old-to-new junction detail with proposed materials and treatment.
Decide this before construction
Start with a survey and trial repair, reviewing the result before treating the whole surface. Protect retained elements while removing adjoining material.
Cost factors for this service
Costs depend on pile system, quantity, depth and mobilisation. Ask for the scope and selected specification to be described separately.
Bring this to the discussion
Photographs of the existing situation, available drawings and your requirements for piling & piled foundations. Identify the elements that should remain.
Questions about the work
What should I discuss before arranging piling & piled foundations?
The choice follows ground data and structural calculations. A method used next door is not automatically suitable for your project.
The design situations here illustrate choices; they are not completed projects or a diagnosis of your property.
