Steps Involved in The Process of Underpinning 

Installation of The Temporary Support

A temporary support structure is created while starting the underpinning process. This helps a person to get the assurance that the basement does not collapse while the process of underpinning. 

Excavation

In this process, the soil from around and under the base is removed. This provides access to the basement for creating space which can be used for installing piers. The Professional Underpinning Services in Melbourne have detailed plan about each spot as well as angle where the insertion of the piers would happen. The excavation which is unnecessary can easily make the basement weak by lengthening the process. The process of basement underpinning needs the creation of the squared or round holes which depend upon the excavation type and the piers shape. You can also choose to use the shovel but it can be tiring enough. 

Pier Piling

Once the excavation process is completed and enough space is created, piers are introduced in the form of extra support. The piers can be used in forms such as:  

  • Resistance Piers:

    These piers are installed with the help of advanced machinery and they are driven in the soil without using any brackets or screws. These piers are perfect for large buildings or big structures. 
  • Helical Piers:

    These piers are installed with the help of the conventional system for screwing the piers on the frame. It is difficult to manipulate helical piers after installation and the secured framework cannot be undone.

Pouring Concrete

Most of the landscaper prefers to pour the concrete on the pier frame for making it durable while others like to pack the garden soil. This helps to remove the support structure which is not permanent. The traditional manner is used by the professional underpinning services for pouring concrete. This process is completed using the various types of tools such as trowels, shovels and concrete rakes.
