AND UNDERPINNING
UNDERPINNING
Underpinning is the installation of temporary
or permanent support to an existing
foundation to provide either additional
depth or an increase in bearing capacity.

Mini-piled underpinning
Mini-piles have the greatest value where ground conditions are very
variable, where access is restrictive.
Mini-piled underpinning is generally used when the loads from the
foundations need to be transferred to stable soils at considerable
depths
- usually in excess of 5.0 metres.
Mini-piles may either be augured or driven steel cased, and are
normally
between 150mm and 300mm in diameter.
