The Benefits of Piling Foundations

By 04/02/2020June 13th, 2023No Comments

Here at Rhino Piling, we want to go back to basics. After all, it is important that potential clients are aware of the benefits that a service can provide as they tend to outweigh the negatives. Piling is a type of secure foundation that involves the installation of ‘piles’ into the soil in order to prevent subsidence and ensure that a building is stable. Read on as we go over three benefits of investing in piling foundations…

How much disruption does piling create?

There is a lot of specialist machinery that is used during the installation of piles which can lead to the misconception that the process is incredibly disruptive. Luckily, this couldn’t be further from the truth! After all, mini-piles create very little noise and are relatively easy to install which means that they can be used for both new and existing builds whereas traditional piling is carried out in accordance with a strict schedule in order to ensure that the work is completed on time.

Is piling an expensive investment?

Since a piling foundation comes with a lifetime guarantee, many property owners choose to consider it an investment for the future. After all, a lack of stable foundations can lead to a variety of different problems several years down the line which may occur without warning and can be expensive to rectify. As a result, investing in high-quality piles will ensure that a building is structurally sound for many years to come.

Does piling damage the environment?

The installation of pile foundations involves drilling into the soil and displacing it. The pile itself is then added and is often made from concrete, steel or wood. This means that there is little to no wastage involved in pile foundations as any materials that are not utilised are reused or recycled in order to ensure that the environment is taken into consideration.

Although piling is often undertaken for new builds, variations of the traditional service can also be implemented for existing builds and this is just one of the many benefits that pile foundations can provide. After, it may seem like a time consuming and disruptive service, however there are worthwhile benefits that can be obtained at the end of a project.
