Strengthening the foundation of buildings-increasing the load-bearing capacity of the foundation of buildings

Over time, the foundation of the house loses its load-bearing capacity, which can lead to an emergency condition of the building. Therefore, in the process of reconstruction and repair of the house, special attention is paid to strengthening the foundation. Premium Technologies provides services for strengthening the foundation of an old house using innovative geopolymer injection technologies.

When you need to repair the foundation

From the moment of construction on the base of the building, there are many destructive factors of both natural and anthropogenic nature.

Natural factors include:

  • ground water level fluctuations;
  • soil suffusion;
  • seismic activity, etc

. Among the anthropogenic factors, it is worth noting:

  • accidents of water utilities;
  • loads on the foundation of the building that are not provided for by the project;
  • low-quality construction materials used during construction;
  • construction or earthworks nearby;
  • vibrations caused by construction equipment or heavy vehicles.

This gradually provokes cracks in the foundation and walls, which in turn leads the building to a state unsuitable for operation. You can prevent such consequences by strengthening the building’s foundation in a timely manner.

When to repair and strengthen the foundation of an old house:

  • when building a new building on the foundation of a previously built or already destroyed house;
  • when it is necessary to strengthen the base and increase its load-bearing capacity(when adding new floors, installing heavy equipment, etc.);
  • when subsidence and changing the properties of the ground of the base;
  • if there are external signs of damage to the foundation (cracks, subsidence, signs of deformation of the exterior or interior decoration, distortions of doorways, etc.);
  • emergency condition of the building.

Any work on the reconstruction of the foundation always begins with its technical examination by a specialist. It allows you to find out what design problems need to be solved during the repair process, and develop a competent engineering solution.

Stages of foundation reinforcement work

The first stage of work to restore the load — bearing capacity of the foundation is an expert assessment of the technical condition of the building:

  • condition of the foundation and supporting structures;
  • presence and condition of waterproofing;
  • depth of sealing and other parameters of the foundation;
  • collection of loads acting on the foundation;
  • characteristics of the foundation soil and the degree of its compaction;
  • determination of the causes of foundation damage and subsidence.

The project documentation of the building and reports on previous surveys or repairs are also reviewed.

The next stage is design. The engineering solution for strengthening the base is developed on the basis of data obtained during the survey. At the same stage, project documentation is drawn up, including the procedure for carrying out work on the object and a list of building materials used.

The final stage is construction and installation works. At this stage, specialists can perform the following types of work:

  • strengthening the ground of the foundation and foundation;
  • expanding the base of the foundation or increasing the depth of its location;
  • changing the type of foundation;
  • complete or partial replacement of the ground of the foundation and foundation.

Based on the data obtained during surveys, a reinforcement scheme is being developed that will help solve existing problems and prevent the emergence of new ones.

Ways to strengthen building foundations

To date, there are several methods of strengthening foundations and foundations that will help protect your home or commercial premises from destruction. The most common ones are:

1. injection method.

The injection technology is based on the use of polymer resins. This is one of the most effective and quickest ways to strengthen the foundation of a house without too much noise and dust. The technology is reduced to the introduction of polymer resins into the base of the soil or foundation, which, expanding, completely fill all the voids, and displace water. Due to this, the base is compacted, its load-bearing capacity increases, and the foundation returns to its original position. The technology can be implemented in different ways. Premium Technologies performs soil injection operations under its own brand Premium Technologies Deep Stabilization and Premium Technologies Slab Lifting.

2. Cementation method.

If the ground on the construction site does not meet the required requirements, and the building needs to be built on this particular site, then artificial foundations are arranged. One of the ways to artificially strengthen the soil is cementation, which is carried out by injecting liquid cement mortar or cement milk into the soil through pipes, which, having hardened in the soil pores, give it a stone-like structure.

3. strengthening the foundation of the house with the use of drill-injection piles.

Buroinjection piles are widely used to strengthen the foundation of a residential building. From the surface of the ground and from the floor level of the first floor or basement, drill vertically and obliquely, through the existing foundation of the well until it rests on solid ground. At the end of drilling, the reinforcement frame is lowered into the well and cement mortar is fed through injection tubes. The resulting piles resemble the roots of trees, on which most of the load is transferred.

4. reinforcement with reinforced concrete clips.

This method is also most often used to strengthen the foundation. The principle of the technology is to expand the base along the outer perimeter. The foundation is reinforced with reinforcing mesh, formwork is installed, after which a concrete mixture is poured between the mesh and the formwork.

Advantages of working with us

The company “Premium Technologies” provides a full range of services for strengthening the foundation of private homes and commercial buildings at an affordable price. In our work, we use geopolymer injection technology-the best modern solutions for strengthening and strengthening foundations and foundation soils.

Principles of our work:

  • thorough diagnostics of the object;
  • individual design decisions;
  • compliance with deadlines.

Premium Technologies’s unique methods, developed by our specialists over many years of practice, allow you to perform all work as quickly and quietly as possible, without emptying the premises or suspending activities. We use environmentally friendly materials in our work and do it with care for the environment.  

If you have reached this block, then you care about the future of your property. By applying for help from qualified specialists in time, you will significantly save your time and financial costs.

The first step to save an object that is subject to destruction is to examine the building by specialists. This will help you avoid making rash or ill-considered decisions about measures aimed at stopping this process.

Premium Technologies specialists will go to the site and determine the type of foundation deformation and find out its causes. Depending on the data obtained, they will perform the necessary calculations, determine which measures will help to stop the destruction of the building, and which method of strengthening the foundation will be optimal.

Based on this information, you will be able to make an informed decision in which of the three directions to go:

Answers to frequently Asked questions

Performing work using Premium Technologies technology does not require moving out residents or stopping the operation of the house. 

The materials we use are durable and resistant to aggressive environments. Premium Technologies has the ability to guarantee works for up to 60 years. 

We use Premium Technologies geopolymer resin injection technology, which is similar to a "microsurgical operation" without excavation and excavation or clutter management.

Cracks in the walls are closed as the building structure rises. Windows and doors will work normally again if there were misalignments before. 

Most projects are completed within two to three days. Keep in mind that each project is different.
