Underpinning, pile load testing, difficult access piling and transmission line foundations.
Underpinning & In-situ Support
In situ support, or underpinning, is used to stabilise and strengthen a structure’s existing foundations during construction or renovation works. There are various reasons why this might be necessary, such as the original foundation not being strong enough to support any additional building processes.
The use of the structure may also have changed, creating the need for extra support, while the surrounding soil might also have altered over time, affecting the foundations. During the underpinning process, the foundations will be extended to enable the additional support structures to be put in place — either in depth or by breadth.
Sometimes it can be more economical to strengthen the existing foundations rather than create new ones and the East Coast Group of Companies can talk you through your options.

Pile Load Testing — Peace of Mind
Pile load testing is the most efficient and effective way to determine a system’s behaviour under defined load conditions and is used to discover the maximum operating capacity of a particular application. It can be completed relatively quickly and offers increased quality assurance for your company.
A range of pile load testing services are available at the East Coast Group of Companies, so just talk to our team to find the most suitable option for you. We guarantee quality and reliable services, and will always ensure that you receive exactly what you need for the best price.
