The art of ground engineering: Piling expert reveals buildings' hidden strength

A discussion with piling specialist Steve Hadley pinpoints the significance of deep foundations for the stability of large load-bearing structures.

, is home to a fleet of piling rigs that drive piles in the ground in different ways, depending on factors such as the soil conditions, the size and weight of the pile, and the type of equipment used.

Another advantage of CFA piles is that they create very little noise and vibration during installation, which makes them suitable for use inAfter any pile is set in the ground, it is tested to ensure it meets the required load-bearing capacity. This is typically done using a static load test. This test applies a weight to the pile, and measurements are taken to determine its deflection and load-bearing capacity.

Conversely, suppose the groundwater level is too low. In that case, it can cause soil shrinkage, leading to foundation cracking and settling. This can often occur in areas with clay soils, which shrink and swell depending on the moisture content. He revealed that we should expect a future where foundations behave the same way and are designed similarly to today but installed using more sustainable materials and methods.
