When people think of construction, they rarely think of the work that goes onto the ground below. This is natural, but while the results are hidden from public view, piled foundations prove essential for homes and commercial sites across the Chester area. Here at GTM Piling Ltd, we specialise in foundation piling and underpinning. As such, we can discuss the various benefits that come from these professional services, so you can better understand their importance in the industry.

So what is it that makes piled foundation installations so essential?
We will look at the following key points:
Aggressive soil types can cause issues for more traditional mat, raft and trench-fill foundations. Foundation piles reach further below the earth to the strata beneath and hold out well against a diverse range of soil types. Domestic buildings often benefit most from mini piles, which involve using mobile equipment that can work in some of the most restrictive areas.
Construction often generates a lot of waste, with only so much of it finding a second life through the recycling process. Foundation piling and micro piling are permanent fixtures that create less debris than other methods. The speed of the process means they also use less energy to get the installation or underpinning work done.
Without the need for digging deep foundations, our piling contractors help to keep environments across Chester and beyond as safe as possible. The reduction in manual labour minimises risk, with fewer concerns for groundwater contamination. Of course, we work to HSE guidelines no matter the details of your piled foundations or underpinning project.
Construction and development take time, as well as planning and a great deal of skill. In turn, the last thing you need is a delay because of problems with the groundworks and foundations. Thankfully, foundation piling is quick to undertake in most weather conditions, so your project can remain on schedule and within the budget agreed by the client.
Not all homes around Chester or the surrounding areas have a large amount of land to work with. In fact, many properties sit close together and demand a more flexible approach. When aiming to provide the ideal solution, we can use smaller equipment to deliver the mini piling required for long-term support. This also makes underpinning an easier task without blocking access to your home or workplace.
Here at GTM Piling Ltd, we always do our best to give you the most professional, reliable and trustworthy service for piled foundations, ground beams, screw piles, mini piling and underpinning. Our piling contractors will work with you to fully ascertain your needs and expectations before delivering the right foundation solutions for your building in the Chester area. Additionally, we guarantee to get things right the very first time, so you won’t have to concern yourself with remedial work at a later date.
