Frequently Asked Questions

Strip foundations are cost-efficient; trench fills are ideal for unstable soils. Milan Groundworks ensures precision with advanced techniques.

At Milan Groundworks and Civil Engineers, we recognise that the stability of your home begins at ground level. Our approach to residential construction foundations and groundworks is rooted in a deep understanding of the factors that contribute to the necessity of deep foundations. We consider the type of soil, the load of the structure, and the environmental conditions of the site to determine the most suitable foundation depth for your project.

What Dictates the Need for Deep Foundations?

Deep foundations are required when surface soil lacks the strength to support the weight of the structure. We assess soil quality, potential frost heave, water table levels, and the presence of expansive clays to make informed decisions about foundation depth.

Ensuring Solid Foundations for Basements

When constructing basements, we prioritise solid foundation assurance. Our process includes:

  • Waterproofing and drainage solutions to prevent water damage
  • Reinforced concrete to withstand subterranean pressures
  • Careful excavation to maintain the integrity of surrounding structures

Pad Foundation Options for Your Project

Pad foundations are a versatile option for lighter structures or when ground conditions are favourable. We offer:

  • Standard pad foundations for uniform load distribution
  • Raft foundations for larger areas with moderate load requirements
  • Pile caps for concentrated loads, often used in conjunction with deep foundations

Groundwork Optimization Techniques

To optimise groundworks for building support, we employ a range of techniques:

  • Site-specific ground condition assessments
  • Precision excavation and grading
  • Use of high-quality, durable materials
  • Integration of sustainable drainage systems

Our commitment to operational excellence ensures that every foundation we lay is designed to provide the utmost stability for your home. We work closely with you to understand your needs and provide a foundation solution that not only meets but exceeds your expectations. Contact us to discuss how we can support the stability and longevity of your residential construction project.

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.
