Evaluation

Conduct a thorough assessment of the foundation to determine the extent of the structural issues and the specific requirements for underpinning. This may involve soil testing, structural analysis, and identifying the cause of foundation settlement.

Planning

Develop a comprehensive underpinning plan tailored to address the identified issues and stabilize the foundation. This includes selecting the appropriate underpinning method (e.g., mass concrete, screw piles, or micro-piles), determining the depth and spacing of underpins, and considering factors such as access, load distribution, and potential impact on adjacent structures.

Execution

Implement the underpinning plan according to industry best practices and engineering standards. This involves excavating beneath the existing foundation, installing underpins to support the structure's weight, and gradually transferring loads to the new support system. Quality control measures, such as monitoring settlement and ensuring proper concrete curing, are crucial during the execution phase to ensure the effectiveness and long-term stability of the underpinning solution.
