Reinforce and strengthen your building before refurbishments
Underpinning
Underpinning is a structural solution used to increase the depth or load capacity of an existing foundation by extending it down to stronger, more stable soil layers. It is particularly effective when the original foundation has weakened over time, when building loads have increased, or when nearby construction has altered soil conditions.
Unlike push piers, which stabilise foundations by transferring loads to deep, stable strata via steel piles, underpinning works by enlarging and reinforcing the existing foundation itself. This method integrates directly with the original structure, creating a stronger and more stable base while maintaining the current position of the building.
Our process begins with a thorough structural assessment to determine the cause of instability and plan out the most effective way to execute the works with precision, ensuring the foundation can safely handle present and future loads without compromising the building’s usability during the process.

Applications
Applications
01 | Structure Strengthening & Stabilisation
Ideal for structures affected by soil movement, changes in load requirements, or damage caused by environmental conditions. It restores strength to weakened foundations, prevents further settlement, and extends the lifespan of the building all while maintaining structural safety and performance.
