Safety is the first priority in every kind of construction, whether it is of home, office complex or any commercial building, the first question that arise is how safe this building would be? So, to make any kind of buildings safe, Southern Foundations Piling give best possible Piling Plymouth services in Plymouth. Traditional shallow foundations do not give the kind of safety and strength which buildings demand, so for this purpose, current trend is to do piling before setting the base of construction. Piling not only give strength to the base, it is also a way to enhance building protection in case of sudden shocks or jolts through any natural or human made disaster.
Piling is a vertical structural element of a deep foundation, driven or drilled deep into the ground at the building site, which make building strong enough to bear heavy load and make them corrosion resistant. Southern Foundations Piling limited use variety of methods to do piling according to the customer’s and location’s demand. Most commonly we use steel, wood, or concrete to make the round sturdier for the construction of project.

Why Piling Necessary?
Constructing a building costs a fortune, so why not make it strong and sturdy at first place rather than wasting money on its maintenance later. And solely for this purpose piling should be done to build the foundation strong enough to resist any kind of future subsidence.
Benefits of Piling

- Can be installed in difficult ground thus make building construction relatively easy.
- Less noisy construction
How Deep the Piling Should Be?
Burying the piling 4–6 ft (1.2–1.8 m) into the ground should give you a tight, secure fit. However, the depth of piling vary from location to location.

Piling Cost
The cost of piling vary from material to material or from site to site. Some sites requires deep foundations, thus piling is also done at depth through which cost increase slightly. However, certain places have fine ground quality, so they don’t require piles at certain depth, which lessen the cost, but Southern Foundations Piling provide piling services in Plymouth in most suitable cost. We are one of the few companies working in Plymouth who actually cares about their customer’s money.
Piling Lifespan
With various materials the lifespan of piling also vary. For instance with wood piling, the foundation would take 15-20 years to deteriorate, with Aluminum and composite life span increase by five percent, but with concrete the lifespan could go up to 50 years. We recommend our customers to use the material after assessing their demands because sometimes customers use wrong sort of material just to save little money, which later arise problems for them.
Why Pile Foundation is Preferred?
Sudden rise in ground water table or any other uplift forces could affect the building negatively, and to prevent this problem piling is preferred because it provide protection against such problems. Thus, piling should be done to ensure safety of not just buildings, but also for the conservation of resources, the money, and the time.
The conclusion is that piling is extremely important, but choosing a trusted Piling Company Plymouth to do piling is equally important, because without proper foundation whole project could be affected.
