What We Do?
House extension piling involves driving piles into the ground, installing beams, and pouring concrete for a sturdy base for the extension. We follow a systematic work procedure that includes:
Preparing the Ground
Initially, we conduct a comprehensive soil assessment. Understanding the ground conditions is vital as it affects the piling method and equipment choice. Our experts evaluate the soil type, groundwater levels, bearing capacity, and possible risks.
Selecting the Right Piling Method
Based on the assessment, different methods can be chosen, including:
-
-
- Bored Piling
- Driven Piling
- Helical Piling
-
Driving the Piles
After completing a thorough soil assessment and choosing appropriate equipment, we drive the pile foundation into the subsoil layers until they reach the necessary load-bearing strata, ensuring a strong building foundation for your extension.
Installing Ground Beams
After driving the piles, we cut the pile casings to the correct height and install prefabricated steel cages. Then, we drop steel bars into the casings and connected them to the cages.
Pouring Concrete
Once the ground beam is installed, we pour concrete into the trench to fill the pile casings and cover the cages.
Inspections and Quality Control
We ensure the piles are installed correctly and meet safety regulations throughout the piling process. This includes checking each pile’s depth, alignment, and overall integrity.
Integration with the Structure
Once the piling is complete, the new foundation can be integrated with the current structure. This often involves creating a new concrete slab or footing that ties the existing building with the new extension.
