  There are two main types of foundations; shallow and deep foundations. These foundations show the relative depth of the soil on which the buildings are constructed.  If the width of the footing is more than the depth of the foundation and the width is less than ten feet deep, then such situations are known as shallow foundations. When the surface soils are strong enough to support the imposed loads of the buildings and other structures, a shallow foundation is used.  If the width of the foundation is less than the depth of the foundation, then such cases are known as deep foundations. When the imposed loads of the building are needed to be transferred deep into the soil, deep foundations are used.  This article will briefly explain what  piling works   are and explain several types of piling construction.   Basics of piling A pile working or pile foundation is when several series or columns are inserted into the grounds to tran...

  When a building is built on sandy soil or soft ground, at such times, it becomes necessary to construct a secant pile wall. Secant pile wall, ensure that the structure behind the wall would remain proper and it won't have the risk of falling due to high lateral pressure working.    This work is carried under the expert supervision of a quality engineer, construction manager, safety officers, and skilled labor. For this work, rotary drilling rigs ensure that the soil remains firm and the surrounding structures are not disturbed.    This article will explain the site conditions for performing the  shoring work  and the material needed to construct   sheet piles in Dubai .     Site condition for shoring work The subsurface of the area is made up of loose sand accumulating on the top layer. The medium and the layer below are made up of the formation of calcarenite and sandstone over time.   The reason to construct ...

Even though piling works is not a new technique for developing foundations of a building, it is still widely used as of today’s standards. For large buildings that need to support a huge amount of load or pressure, such technique is very much necessary. This technique has been used since the early 1980s. The piling contractors have used this method in building everything, from offshore wind farms to domestic conservatories. Piling is generally defined as a deep foundation that is used to transfer all the building’s load to a foundation deeper than the building. This method is much more impactful than normal traditional shallow foundations. Piles are made up of timber or steel or even concrete. Read Full Article
