Project Overview:
In Egham, Surrey, Piled Raft Foundation undertook a comprehensive project involving the construction of a piled raft foundation integrated with retaining walls. This project was essential to providing a robust and stable foundation solution tailored to the site's specific geotechnical conditions.
Scope of Work:
-
Piled Raft Foundation: A piled raft foundation was designed and installed to distribute structural loads and minimize settlement effectively. This approach combined the load-bearing capacities of both piles and raft, ensuring enhanced stability.
-
Retaining Walls: Retaining walls were constructed to manage soil lateral pressures and maintain the integrity of the excavation, especially considering the site's topography and soil characteristics.
Execution Details:
-
Design and Engineering: A thorough geotechnical assessment informed the foundation design, ensuring it met the specific requirements of the soil conditions in Egham.
-
Construction: The project involved installing piles, followed by building the raft slab. Subsequently, retaining walls were constructed to support the surrounding soil and structures.
-
Quality Assurance: Throughout the project, stringent quality control measures were implemented to ensure compliance with engineering standards and client specifications.
Outcome:
The successful completion of this project resulted in a durable and efficient foundation system capable of supporting the intended structures while effectively managing soil pressures through the integrated retaining walls. This case exemplifies Piled Raft Foundation's expertise in delivering customized foundation solutions in complex geotechnical settings.
