At Milan Groundworks, your safety and the protection of the environment are paramount. We implement rigorous health and safety protocols, adhering to the highest standards throughout the construction process. Our team is trained to manage and mitigate risks effectively, ensuring a secure environment for both workers and clients.

When constructing a new home or extending an existing structure, the choice of foundation is critical for the stability and longevity of the building. At Milan Groundworks and Civil Engineers, we specialise in determining the most suitable foundation for your project, including when shallow foundations are the best option.

Shallow foundations are often the go-to choice for lighter structures or when the soil conditions are favorablemeaning the soil has adequate bearing capacity and there’s no significant depth of frost penetration or presence of high water tables. Our team conducts comprehensive soil analysis, assessing factors such as soil type, moisture content, and load-bearing capacity to ensure the suitability of a shallow foundation for your project.

Ensuring Concrete Foundation Reliability

To ensure the reliability of concrete foundations, we at Milan Groundworks:

• Use high-quality, durable concrete materials
• Implement meticulous formwork and curing practices
• Conduct regular strength testing and quality assurance checks

Alternatives to Piled Foundations

While piled foundations are ideal for certain conditions, we offer alternatives such as:

• Raft foundations for larger areas with moderate load requirements
• Strip foundations for uniform load distribution along the perimeter of the structure
• Pad foundations for concentrated loads, providing a stable base for individual points of the structure

Conducting Soil Analysis

Our soil analysis process includes:

• Extracting soil samples for laboratory testing
• Performing on-site evaluations to assess soil behaviour and characteristics
• Collaborating with structural engineers to interpret soil data and design a foundation that responds to the specific needs of your site

At Milan Groundworks, we are dedicated to providing you with a foundation solution that combines suitability with reliability. Our expertise in soil analysis and foundation construction ensures that your residential project is built on solid ground. Contact us to discuss how we can tailor our foundation services to the unique requirements of your construction project.

Retaining structures are essential for managing earth pressures and stabilising slopes, especially in areas with challenging topography or where space constraints necessitate steep excavation. At Milan Groundworks and Civil Engineers, we specialise in designing and constructing retaining structures that not only support the foundational integrity of new builds but also contribute to the overall aesthetic and functional layout of the property.

Solutions for New Builds Foundations

For new builds, we offer a variety of retaining solutions tailored to the specific needs of your project:

• Gravity Walls: utilising weight and mass to resist pressure and provide stability.
• Cantilever Walls: Engineered for strength with reinforced concrete that extends deep into the foundation.
• Sheet Piling: Ideal for soft soils, these interlocking steel sheets create a continuous wall for water or earth retention.
• Anchored Walls: Employing cables or other stays anchored in the rock or soil behind the wall, providing additional support for complex situations.

Adapting to Different Soil Types

Understanding that soil type significantly influences the choice of retaining structure, we conduct thorough soil analysis to determine the most effective solution. Our adaptive strategies include:

• Soil Nailing: For soils that require additional reinforcement, we use soil nails to enhance stability.
• Mechanically stabilised Earth (MSE) Walls: Combining soil with reinforcing strips or grids to create a cohesive and strong retaining structure.

Stability Measures for Pile Foundations

Pile foundations are a critical component of our stability measures, particularly in weak or unstable soils. Our approach includes:

• Deep Foundation Piles: Transferring load to deeper, more stable soil layers.
• Friction Piles: utilising the friction between the pile surface and the soil to provide stability.
• End-Bearing Piles: Relying on the firm stratum at the pile’s base to bear the load.

Our commitment to your project’s durability is reflected in our meticulous planning and execution of retaining structures. We ensure that every foundation solution we provide is robust, durable, and tailored to the unique challenges of your site. Contact us to discuss how our retaining solutions can enhance the durability and longevity of your building project.
