Analysis and Report Preparation
Our expertise goes beyond data collection. We specialize in the analysis and preparation of detailed reports. By deriving load capacities based on soil stratum, we help you make informed decisions for various foundation types.
Isolated Footing
Isolated footing is a common foundation type designed to support a single column. It transfers the load directly to the soil beneath, providing stability for structures like individual columns or pillars. Ideal for small to medium-sized structures, isolated footings ensure even weight distribution, preventing uneven settlement.
Strip Footing
Strip footing, or continuous footing, is a foundation type that supports a row of columns or a load-bearing wall. It spreads the load over a wider area, promoting stability. Suitable for structures with closely spaced columns, strip footings are cost-effective and efficient, distributing loads evenly to prevent soil settling issues.
Raft Footing
Raft footing, also known as mat foundation, is a reinforced concrete slab that supports the entire structure’s load. Ideal for areas with weak or variable soil, raft footings prevent differential settlement, ensuring uniform support. This foundation type is cost-effective and minimizes the risk of structural damage.
Pile Foundation
Pile foundations are used in challenging soil conditions or when a structure requires deeper support. Piles, made of materials like concrete or steel, are driven into the ground to bear the load. This foundation type is effective in areas with unstable soil, providing enhanced stability and preventing subsidence.
Well Foundation
Well foundations are commonly employed in bridge construction, particularly in water bodies. These foundations involve sinking a large well into the riverbed or seabed, excavating material, and filling it with concrete. Well foundations offer stability in aquatic environments, ensuring structural integrity and resistance to water forces.
