Piling contractors London: What is piling?
Piling is the foundations that are bored through the ground along a specific length of area to transfer loads to soil that is already due to various soil conditions. Basically, piling is used when the bearing ability of the soil in considered to be insufficient for the load of heave construction projects. The piles carry the load to the required depth of the ground.
Various projects that piling contractors in London undertake include RC works construction as well as mini piling construction work.
Piling contractors in London should design piling foundations very carefully, based on soil and load conditions. The piles should be able to carry shear, axial, and bending stresses that could develop due to the relative horizontal movement of piles between the different soil layers.
Piling contractor London: The origin of piling
Piling dates back to the ancient times, when people used them for building foundations on weak soils, especially near rivers. Many of the villages were located next to river bans where there was exercise water, which made the soil extremely weak. The weak bearing ground was reinforced by using timber piles that were sometimes manually forced to the ground, or at other times fixed in holes that were filled with sand and stones. History indicates that the Romans used this method in their buildings and structures.
