Foundation Engineering

Ilya Engineering has an expert team to help you with Foundation and Retain Structure Engineering problems and their corresponding solutions. A preventive (maintenance) step is more cost-effective than a significant overhaul in every aspect of life. The same goes for the foundation and problems associated with it. And, if we neglect the warning signs today, the maintenance cost could quickly increase in the future.

Therefore, Ilya Engineering does structural assessments to check structures’ adequacy, integrity, soundness, and components. As a result, we can assess a structure’s current and future use and conformance to present building codes.

From an expert’s point of view, a well-performing foundation’s design and construction must possess some basic requirements that must not be ignored. For example, the foundation’s design and construction are done to sustain and transmit the dead and the imposed loads to the soil. This load transfer has to be carried out without resulting in any form of settlement that can result in stability issues for the structure. Also, a rigid base for the foundation can help you avoid Differential Settlements. Also, such problems are more pronounced in areas where the superimposed loads are not uniform.

Based on the soil, area, and weather condition, it is better to have a deeper foundation to guard against any damage or distress. These are mainly caused due to the problem of shrinkage and swelling due to temperature changes. Additionally, the location of the foundation chosen must be an area that is not affected or influenced by future works or factors.
