Foundation Engineering

The determination of the bearing capacity of the ground and the variation of this within the site and with depth is fundamental for the appropriate design and construction of any building.

LDE specialise in foundation engineering and strive to minimise the risks of excessive foundation settlement while also minimising the size of the foundations (and hence cost). With out team of experienced Structural Engineers, your foundations can also be designed in house ensuring the geotechnical matters are fully taken into consideration.

Contact us now for specialist assistance with:

• ground bearing capacity (geotechnical ultimate, ULS and allowable) and variations
• across your site
• strip foundations
• pad foundations
• pile foundations (bored and driven piles)
• rib raft foundations
• magnitudes of ground settlement to be expected
• site subsoil category determination
• foundation design calculations and drawings
• pile plans
