The Requirement

A site for a new extension had a number of complexities:

  • clay soil
  • a nearby tree
  • multiple services across the site

The Solution

  • We installed QuadraPile foundations into trenches dug by the builder and then manufactured, supplied and installed reinforcing ‘cages’ into the trenches ready for the builder to pour the concrete beams and build the extension.
  • The foundations had to be designed to fit around the existing services on the site as well as meet the Building Inspector’s requirements, especially in relation to the nearby tree and clay soil.
