Many property owners have actually not heard of piling, despite how crucial it is when it comes to keeping your property well looked after. This is probably because very few owners are ever involved in the construction of their property, so why would they know? They usually only find out when it all starts to go wrong, and they are told their foundations are compromised when subsidence starts to happen. Here at Rhino Piling, we believe that foundations are a must have for every structure and luckily can be installed during initial construction or later down the line. Here are a few reasons why you should invest in piling.
Damage Control
Since piles are used in order to bear the weight of an existing building, it is important to take underground services into consideration. After all, poor foundations can lead to subsidence and if this occurs then everything from water mains to electrical points can be put at risk. Luckily, an investment in piling at the start of construction or as a later addition to an existing property can provide damage control and ensure that the underground fittings are safe and secure.
Strong Foundations
During the initial construction of the building, whether that be a residential home or a skyscraper, it is important to invest in high-quality foundations that will be strong enough to bear the weight of the structure. Many buildings are designed with poor foundations or even without any foundations at all which can lead to many problems down the line. Because piling transfers the weight of a building from the weaker soil down to the more secure soil that is found further beneath the ground, deep within the earth, they provide a strong and secure foundation that will last a lifetime.
When a building is under construction, the first thing that needs to be addressed is the piling foundations, to avoid damage and subsidence.
