Foundations

The choice of type of foundation and its design will vary according to the soil conditions and the characteristics of the superstructure. The conditions during construction such as available space, ground water and adjacent structures, will have to be assessed in order to establish feasible construction methods.

GeoConsult made the designs for the foundations for a variety of projects which include town houses, buildings, industrial constructions as well as large civil engineering constructions, such as large underpasses, fly-overs and bridges.

 


GeoConsult applies generally used solutions for pad or strip and pile foundations but we also have experience with specialized foundation techniques such as diaphragm walls, large diameter piles, grout anchors, jet-grouting and the application of geotextiles.
