FOUNDATIONS SERVICE
It refers to the design, construction and maintenance of the foundations on which structures are built, such as houses, commercial buildings, bridges and other constructions. Foundations are essential to the stability and safety of any structure, as they distribute the weight of the construction over the ground and prevent subsidence or shifting.
Project Evaluation and Design:
Soil Study: Analysis of the soil to determine its load capacity, composition and humidity conditions.
Project Requirements: Evaluation of the structural and design needs of the building or construction.
Foundation Design: Creating a detailed foundation design that matches the soil conditions and structure requirements.
Types of Foundations:
Superficial Foundations: They include strip footings, isolated footings and foundation slabs.
Strip Footings: Foundations that extend along the walls of the structure, distributing the weight evenly.
Isolated Footings: Individual foundations placed under columns or pillars.
Foundation Slab: A concrete slab that extends across the entire area of the structure, providing a solid foundation.
Deep Foundations: Include piles and piles.
Piles: Columns of concrete, steel or wood that are driven into the ground to reach deeper and more stable layers.
Piles: Concrete-filled pits that are dug deep into the ground.
Land Preparation:
Site Cleanup: Removal of vegetation, debris and other obstacles from the construction area.
Excavation: Excavating the ground according to design specifications to create the necessary space for the foundation.
Foundation Installation:
Reinforcement Placement: Installation of steel reinforcing bars to strengthen concrete.
Concrete Pouring: Placing concrete in the molds or excavated spaces to form the foundation.
Leveling and Compaction: Ensure that the concrete is level and well compacted to avoid voids and ensure stability.
Common Foundation Applications:
Residential Construction: Houses, garages and other residential structures.
Commercial Buildings: Offices, stores, factories and warehouses.
Public Infrastructure: Bridges, roads, tunnels and other public works.
Foundation service is essential to ensure the stability and safety of any construction.
