What causes subsidence?
There are many different causes of subsidence and various contributing factors. All of them are associated with some change in the soil of the base, which, in turn, generates the movement of structures. For example, a drought dries the land, causing the soil (especially clay) to shrink. Seismic or construction activity shakes the earth, often leading to liquefaction (decompression), which "squeezes" the liquid out of the earth. Construction or pile works, and even heavy movement and vibration of machinery, can shift, displace and change the condition of the soil. In addition, different types of soil depend to varying degrees on different conditions. For example; clay is particularly prone to compression in drought conditions, gravel and rubble(rocky) soils may be more affected by nearby excavations, and excess water has a softening effect on the mud. Subsidence can occur over large areas of land or in a small target area. This may occur over a long period of time, or may be an immediate reaction to nearby activities or natural events. When the ground has been affected, building subsidence is common. Foundations or supports are no longer supported sufficiently, sinking due to weak ground.
In practice:
If you have a sagging or tilted floor, then you need to re-level the structures. The project implementation procedure at the first stage requires a site visit, a survey to determine the causes of deformations. Then our experienced engineers and technicians will determine the necessary approach, creating a solution project specific to the needs of your building (or private home). As the building and its sagging floors return to the design level, any internal and external cracks in the walls (abutments) are usually closed too. Our solutions for lifting and repairing concrete floors are an advanced and modern response to the traditional solution method with dismantling and headache.
