- Piling is undertaken external to the building – utilizing a rig suitable for the works we can install a range of techniques dependent on access restrictions.
- Piles and beam are excavated, existing foundations are exposed in sections, substructure brickwork is removed and props introduced between the superstructure and existing foundation – depending on levels props can also be introduced to the underside of foundation to prevent the need for intrusive works.
- Excavated beam is reinforced and piles tied into the permanent structure, beam reinforcement extends underneath the propped area to pickup external walls.
- Concrete is poured, depending on design works concrete will either be ‘flooded’ (poured higher than the existing foundation, props then becoming a part of the permanent works or subsequently props are removed when brickwork has been repaired.
