foundations
Foundation works can take an extensive amount of time if they are not handled by specialists of underground works with a global approach to the entire structure.
When coming to supporting a bridge, foundations include:
– The piles (barettes or pile wall, or sometimes micro-piles for smaller bridges) support all the forces applied to the structure from top to bottom,
– Located under the pier, the pile cap is used to redistribute forces onto the several piles of the structure.
VSL and its subsidiary Intrafor, who is a specialised leader in ground engineering and foundations, guarantee performance on technical and time efficiency – providing you with a design and build package, including:
– The best solution design for the foundations – based upon ground investigation and thorough analysis
– Potential ground improvement
– Foundations works
A design and build package encompassing the necessary design and engineering services required; starting with ground investigations all the way to the foundations work required to build the bridge.
