A Guide to piling
FEATUREDHave you ever wondered how building structures such as homes, buildings, bridges and roads are built and remain as they are? Well you’ve come to the right place. At elite piling we have created a guide on piling to help our customers understand the work we do and how we can help you with the project you have in mind.
Piling is an essential part of any construction project. For hundreds of years, deep foundations have been driven into the earth using a technique known as piling. It provides stability and strength to many building structures allowing them to remain as they are. Piling works by inserting large amounts of material into the ground, often wood, steel and concrete. This is what creates the sturdy base for a construction project. These materials are used because of their strength, as the underground structure has to be strong enough to support very large and heavy buildings.
What is piling in construction?
Piling is the process of driving pile foundations into the ground beneath a building currently under construction. These piles transfer loads from the structure to the ground, helping to support it. Pile foundations are often used where the ground is too weak to underpin the structure.
What are pile foundations?
Pile foundations are long, thin elements generally made of steel or reinforced concrete. They are used to hold majority of the load from building structures. Pile foundations ensure that the foundation of a building is safe, dependable and sturdy. It’s important that a piling installation process is carried out professionally and correctly, using a heavy-duty pile driver.
