While not every project requires piling foundations, it is sometimes needed to support the short and long-term stability of a construction. Structural safety and assurances for the future of your project throughout its lifespan make it a popular choice.
It’s important when you are choosing a piling company in Essex that you are confident in their ability. At Capital Piling we have become a leading provider of piling work in the county for a wide range of needs.
The question remains, however: what situations and scenarios require piling work?
To answer that question and to help differentiate piling work from typical shallow foundation work, here are four reasons why piling work is used to lay strong and durable foundations for construction projects the world over:
- Weak or malleable soil: The main reason that piling work is chosen and trusted for many residential and commercial jobs across Essex is the need for deeper foundations. Ordinary foundations are laid flat, but piling can be made deeper to counteract soil which is prone to moving or shifting. Our work at Capital Piling is framed by our ability to tailor piling services to combat weak topsoil with the most secure foundation for the job at hand.
- Current piling foundations: If your property is built on piling foundations previously, it’s important that you use piling to complement them. This is a great way to secure the long-term future of your construction while making repairs and servicing for your structure in the future a lot easier.
- Underground pipework or drains: If there are a number of obstructions underfoot that need to be taken into account, it’s vital that we do not damage the current pipework or drainage systems below. Piling systems and their ability to be tailored to counteract those drains and pipes makes them an ideal choice for any property facing this issue.
- Safety for nearby foundations: The nature of many foundation needs for extensions, conservatories, garage redevelopments and basement creations mean that piling is a preferred choice when working nearby to homes. By using piling services you can achieve the same results without needing to cause any damage to those structures already in place. It’s ability to be made bespoke ensures that the foundations are fit to the surroundings.
