Description

The failure of foundations leads to distortion of building superstructures and a loss of structural integrity.

If allowed to continue unchecked, this process will lead ultimately to non-serviceability and demolition.

The chief and most successful remedial measure is to underpin the structure and restore full or partial structural integrity.

Various underpinning methods exist, and choosing a particular method or selection of methods is the job of the engineer.

Consistent with the underpinning procedure is the need to retain the affected structure plus the surrounding ground and/or buildings.
