Foundations and Underpinning
- Create structural foundations, as needed; however, it is more economical to work on a current structure’s foundation than to build a new one
- Can build underpinning to strengthen existing foundations
- Can build underpinning to increase the depth or load capacity of existing foundations to support the addition of another story to the building (above or below grade)
- Types of underpinning include beam and base, mass concrete, mini-piled
