Foundation Design

Foundation designs for residential and commercial developments can take many forms and there is no substitute for experience-based interpretation of soils’ investigation. Between the limits of simple strip foundations and fully-piled ground beams, are options such as ground improvement, vibro columns, rafts and pad and beam solutions.

At Ingent we will work with you to determine the foundation solutions that best suit your methods of working and programme of work.

There are often many factors that will determine the most economical design for your development and we are happy to explore them with you.
