Foundations Construction Technology
Foundations are vital to a building’s stability. Foundations connect a building’s walls to the ground and transfer the crushing force of load bearing supports to the ground. This is a tremendously strong energy especially for buildings constructed of heavier materials. It is paramount that the general contractor who prepares a building’s foundation or repairs it understands all factors of foundation fundamentals for client safety.
Foundations come in two flavors, shallow and deep. Deep foundations are most often used for supporting commercial buildings especially tall ones such as skyscrapers or those huge apartment buildings or hotels and offices. Shallow foundations are more typically associated with smaller buildings like houses and such.
The Importance of Good Foundations
Murphy Construction’s professionals understand the importance of testing the rock and soil of new build locations to determine if soil compacting is necessary and if any other steps need to be taken to stabilize the build site.
It’s not only earthquakes that Murphy Construction is prepared to combat to maintain a client’s safety of domicile or workplace. Building a foundation properly is a key component for allowing a building to survive crushing elemental forces and the onslaught of time. Time will erode poorly installed foundations creating cracks in walls which destabilize load bearing structures and potentially allows mold to settle in.
In considering a team for a project, know that one of the details pertinent to proper building techniques includes proper testing procedures and foundation preparation. Murphy’s Construction can work with existing construction management teams to help build large-scale projects or can manage those same projects with diligent managers and crews.
