Piling, Underpinning, Foundation Repair & Groundworks
Building a Strong Foundation for Every Project
At 360 GSS, we are experts in creating robust foundations for buildings designed to stand the test of time. With years of experience and a commitment to adopting the latest methods, we lead the way in providing top-tier solutions for piling, underpinning, foundation repair, and groundworks. You can trust us to deliver stability, safety, and durability for your construction projects.
Comprehensive Site Analysis for Tailored Solutions
Every project we undertake begins with a detailed site analysis. Our team meticulously assesses soil conditions, load-bearing capacities, and other critical ground factors to develop a deep understanding of your project’s unique needs. This allows us to deliver bespoke solutions that ensure optimal stability and performance.
Innovative Piling Techniques
We utilise cutting-edge piling methods tailored to your specific requirements. Whether it’s driving piles deep into the ground for maximum support or employing auger-cast piles for challenging soil conditions, our skilled team has the expertise and tools to handle any scenario. We also ensure that every piling solution we provide is carried out using top-quality materials and equipment, meeting the highest industry standards.
Underpinning for Strengthened Foundations
When existing foundations need reinforcement, our underpinning services are second to none.
Comprehensive Assessment: Our engineers conduct a thorough evaluation of the building’s foundation to identify underlying issues and determine the most effective solution.
Customised Plan: Based on our assessment, we create a detailed underpinning plan that includes excavation steps, material selection, and a precise timeline—all fully compliant with regulations.
Careful Execution: We carefully excavate sections under the foundation, strengthening it with durable materials like reinforced steel. This process reinforces the foundation, addressing settlement issues or structural damage, ensuring long-term stability and safety.
Groundworks and Foundation Repairs
From minor foundation repairs to comprehensive groundworks, we offer end-to-end solutions for maintaining and improving structural integrity. Whether it’s stabilising compromised areas or preparing a site for new construction, our team handles every aspect with precision and care.
Excavation and Preparation: We carry out groundwork preparation with minimal disruption to surrounding areas, ensuring a smooth construction process.
Foundation Repair Expertise: Our repair solutions address cracks, settlement, and structural weaknesses, extending the lifespan of your building.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is the difference between piling and underpinning?
Piling involves driving deep structural elements into the ground to support new construction or heavy loads, while underpinning strengthens and stabilises the foundations of existing buildings, often when the soil has shifted or the structure has settled.
When do I need foundation repair or underpinning?
Foundation repair or underpinning is necessary if you notice signs such as cracks in walls or floors, doors and windows sticking, or uneven floors. These issues often indicate foundation settlement or structural weakness, which require immediate attention to prevent further damage.
How does 360 GSS ensure minimal disruption during construction?
At 360 GSS, we use advanced equipment and techniques to minimise noise, vibrations, and dust during piling, underpinning, and groundworks. Our team also carefully plans each project to reduce disruption to occupants and neighbouring properties.
What materials and methods does 360 GSS use for piling and underpinning?
We use top-quality materials like reinforced steel and sustainable options wherever possible. Our piling methods include driven piles and auger-cast piles, chosen based on project needs. For underpinning, we strengthen foundations through detailed excavation and reinforcement tailored to the building\u2019s requirements.
Are your piling and underpinning solutions environmentally friendly?
Yes, sustainability is a key focus for 360 GSS. We strive to reduce the environmental impact of our work by employing eco-friendly practices, using sustainable materials, and adhering to industry standards for responsible construction.
