Foundation design
ARC Engineers takes a fully integrated approach to all projects and our understanding of ground conditions, combined with practical site experience and an understanding of current construction methods, enables us to provide cost effective, practical designs giving us an essential edge over other engineering consultants.
Every structure must interact with the ground and it is virtually impossible to separate the above ground structural design from the below ground, substructure engineering. From simple strip footings for low rise buildings to deep basements and everything in between, ARC Engineers have the ability to undertake the design, specification and detailing of all elements required for the permanent works to any scale of project.
Our foundation design services:
Piled
Precast concrete or steel driven; Continuous Flight Auger (CFA) reinforced concrete ground beams.
Conventional
Strip footings, mass and trenchfill concrete designs and consideration when building near trees.
Raft
The design and detailing of reinforced concrete raft structures; flexible, rigid and piled rafts.
