Piling in basements is a specialised construction technique employed to strengthen existing foundations or create deeper basement spaces. This process is commonly used in urban areas where space is limited, and property owners seek to expand their living or commercial spaces without altering the structure above ground. Basement piling involves the insertion of vertical support columns, or piles, beneath the existing foundation to transfer structural loads to deeper, more stable soil layers.
By reinforcing the foundation, basement piling prevents settlement or subsidence issues and allows for the construction of deeper, more functional basement levels. It's a critical aspect of structural engineering, enabling property owners to maximise the use of space while ensuring the stability and integrity of their buildings.
