Piling is laid to support a strong building structure. It involves the use of stakes to hold up the building’s height and weight, shifting the building’s load below the Earth’s surface.
The professional piling contractors ensure careful oversight of all the phases involved in the building process. They calculate the required depth and diameter of the piles based on the access issues and ground conditions to devise the most appropriate piling solution.
Southern Foundations Piling has expert piling contractors in Essex, creating piled foundations for various projects, including buildings, basements, house extensions, etc. Having years of experience, we have built a reputation for quality and trusted services.
