Underpinning is a critical and specialized process designed to strengthen and stabilize the foundations of a building.

In the realm of construction and renovation, underpinning is often necessary for various scenarios. It may be required when the original foundation is not strong or stable enough, possibly due to changes in the underlying soil, additional structural loads from building modifications, or neighboring construction activities. Our service is also sought after in cases where the use of a building is changing, or there’s a need for basement lowering to increase living or commercial space.

At Swift Demolition, our approach to underpinning is meticulous and safety-focused. The process typically involves extending the foundation depth or breadth to transfer the building load to more supportive soil layers or distribute it across a larger area. This can be achieved through several techniques, depending on the specific conditions and requirements of the project. These methods include mass concrete underpinning, which involves excavating sections beneath the foundation and filling them with concrete; beam and base underpinning; and the use of mini-piled underpinning for deeper or more complex situations.

Safety and structural integrity are paramount in our operations. We conduct thorough assessments and design a tailored plan for each project, ensuring compliance with all building codes and regulations. Our team of experienced professionals utilizes the latest technology and equipment, guaranteeing precision and efficiency in our work.

We understand that underpinning can be a significant undertaking for our clients. Therefore, we are committed to providing clear communication throughout the project duration, ensuring that our clients are fully informed and comfortable with the process. At Swift, we not only aim to solve immediate structural issues but also to provide long-term stability and peace of mind for property owners, making their spaces safer and more adaptable for future needs.
