Subsidence

Subsidence

We regularly advise upon all aspects of subsidence, including initial appraisal, investigation, recommendations and design of remedial measures.

Subsidence investigation will often involve accurate monitoring of the building movement which we undertake usually for a period of 12-15 months, or as appropriate. Following this, we will produce a report with graphical evidence of the severity and direction of the movement. We would then advise on the appropriate remedial measures for foundation stabilisation. Depending on the monitoring outcome, stabilisation may extend to underpinning or mini-piling.
