Foundation recommendations are the result of every ground investigation. We derive characteristic design parameters from the investigation data, calculate bearing capacities and settlements, and propose technically and economically suitable foundation solutions to Eurocode 7.
Foundation Solutions
- Shallow foundations — strip footings, pad footings, raft foundations
- Deep foundations — bored piles, driven piles, displacement piles, ground improvement
- Specialised foundations — anchored retaining walls, secant pile walls, sheet piling
- Ground improvement — soil replacement, compaction, vibro-replacement, soil mixing
Calculations and Verifications
- Bearing capacity verifications to DIN EN 1997-1 (ULS)
- Settlement predictions to DIN 4019 (SLS)
- Sliding and overturning verifications
- Hydraulic uplift and base failure (e.g. for excavation pits)
- Comparative analysis of foundation alternatives — technical and economic
- Recommendations on excavation, dewatering and groundwater management
Applications: New builds in any sector · Foundation design in soft ground · Underground car parks · Industrial floor slabs · Wind turbine foundations · PV ground-mounted systems · Battery storage facilities · Infrastructure foundations
