Screw Piles
London
Screw Piles London – Located in Bassett Road, London, the owner of this property had concerns regarding the effects of the ground’s instability around the house.
Project Details:
The Problem:
The Screw Piles London project was this residential property had its front area and lower ground floor sink due to subsidence which occurred as a result of the trees located on the public footpath in front of it.
In these instances, subsidence occurs due to the trees which absorb moisture from the soil.
The Solution:
In order to repair the problem, we had to remove the steps going down to each side of the property and excavate along the front as a means to reach down low enough to where was needed.
We then proceeded to install screw piles into the ground which were placed down to approximately 8 metres in depth – the depth at which we encountered firm sub strength.
The screw piles were then connected to the existing property foundations with special bracketry.
In between the screw piles, we cast a ground beam.
In the same vein, we cast reinforced concrete in between the screw piles which spread the load and strengthened the work even further.
