Subsidence, Underpinning & Piling
Subsidence, Underpinning & Piling
The design, planning, and site operations to remedy the root cause of subsidence problems and other structural issues is a core competence of Dunham Building and Civil Engineering. We can project manage a wide range of repair and strengthening schemes to deal with the identified root cause of subsidence problems ensuring a positive and cost effective outcome.
We have 20 years experience in underpinning buildings and other structures using techniques which range from traditional mass concrete underpinning or piling of historic, listed and period buildings through to the use of the latest technology involving base and beam underpinning and the use of ground anchors.
Piling Projects....
Our experience in piling has been gained across a wide range of projects. Piling projects include remediation work and piling associated with the extension of existing buildings and new build projects on difficult ground.
Approved Contractors....
As approved installers of Target Products we have a wide operational experience of installing Heli pile Foundation Systems, as these systems can be tested post installation on site and the Client has the reassurance that, as well as design calculations, the actual performance of the installation is proven.
From Start to Finish....
Our wide experience enables us to develop a bespoke solution for each project. We will advise you on the best solution to your structural issues and you can be assured that you will be working with a competent and professional team. Seek our advice at an early stage of your project in order to achieve the optimal outcome.
Working Smarter....
Our Heli Pile screw piling systems have the benefit of a quiet, vibration free and rapid installation process compared to traditional piling techniques. There is no curing required and work can progress as soon as the installation is finished. From an environmental and sustainability standpoint there is no excavated spoil to be removed and no concrete to be imported to the site. Where there is a temporary need to support a structure of foundation Heli Pile screw piles can be removed and reused or recycled.
Tailored Solutions....
Our range of techniques employed to ensure an appropriate solution includes:
- driven piling systems
- augered piling systems
- Heli Pile screw piling
- mini piling systems
- restricted access piling
- ground beam systems
- mass concrete underpinning and/or strengthening
Our experience of dealing with structural and subsidence problems, together with our ability to manage contracts from the “initial disaster” to “arranging the new furniture and fittings” has made us the first choice contractor for most major insurers.
