- Site preparation: Preparing the site for construction is the first step, as the soil needs to be level and ready to hold the concrete with as little movement as feasible.
- Formwork: A team will erect fixed or moveable formwork per the plan after the site has been prepared for building.
- Placement of reinforcements: The steel cage or rebars are placed before pouring the concrete to add tensile strength.
- Concreting: After that, concrete is poured into the formwork and vibrated to remove air pockets.
- Concrete cured: Once the concrete is filled into the formwork, it needs to be cured and solidified. In a few days, concrete can solidify enough to remove the formwork.

Benefits of Mass Concrete Underpinning
Mass concrete underpinning comes with a range of benefits:
-
-
- Minimal disruption: Work can often be done outside, avoiding interior disruption and the potential need to vacate the building.
- Detailed soil inspection: Allows for close examination and testing of soil conditions to identify weak spots and tree roots.
- Simple technique: Relatively easy to learn and implement, requiring less technically skilled workers.
- Low equipment needs: This can often be done with minimal machinery, depending on the project.
- Root barrier: Helps prevent further damage from tree roots.
- Basement construction aid: Can be designed to support the construction of a new basement.
- Reduced stress: Increases the foundation width to spread the building’s weight over a larger area, reducing pressure on weak soil.
