At IE Engineering our underpinning services focus on foundation strengthening to fortify the core of your structure and ensure its long-term survival. Whether faced with signs of settlement or structural instability, our professional underpinning experts employ proven techniques to address and enhance the stability of your building's foundation.

When foundation issues arise, it’s a worrying matter for any home or business owner. To support you as quickly as we can, we delve into the root causes, to identify and employ strategic approaches to rectify the problems and restore your foundation to its optimal state.

The IE Engineering approach is to ensure your building stands on a robust and reliable support system, preventing further deterioration and securing its structural integrity. Often this requires analysing the external cause of the deterioration which can often stem from factors like subsidence caused by drains, roots, soil erosion or natural disasters like floods or earthquakes.

Depending on the severity of the issue we can employ a number of primary underpinning techniques that include; soil strengthening, the mass concrete method, the beam and base method and the utilisation of screw piles and brackets.

"Underpinning services are a pivotal intervention method to ensure the long-term prosperity of a building that may have suffered from deteriorating foundations. Investing in a solid foundation not only reinforces your building but safeguards its longevity. With our expertise in foundation strengthening and repair, we provide the essential support that ensures your structure stands the test of time."
