Our process
Our team is currently engaged in the process of excavating and disposing of materials adjacent to the walls of the existing foundation.
Following the systematic demolition and clearance of the decayed rubble or concrete walls, we move forward with setting up steel columns to serve as provisional support structures.
After the removal of the existing foundation and ensuring the building is safely braced, we commence the formwork and pouring process to create a new footing. This new footing is designed to act as the primary base for our newly reinforced concrete wall.
Afterward, we assemble the formwork panels and install the reinforcing steel, along with the formwork for any window openings. Once everything is in place, we proceed with pouring the concrete using a concrete pump to ensure accuracy and efficiency in the construction process.
Once the formwork has been disassembled from the newly constructed foundation walls, a waterproof coating or membrane is then applied to provide protection against moisture ingress.
To cap off the process, we will proceed with the installation of a French drainage system, which comes outfitted with a geotextile membrane for enhanced drainage performance and soil stabilization.
