"While standard Dublin boulder clay supports traditional 1.0m deep reinforced concrete strip footings, soft alluvial soils near Dublin Bay or proximity to large mature trees requires engineered mini-piled foundations with ground beams."
Because modern open-plan extensions concentrate enormous roof and upper-floor loads onto specific steel column points, pad foundations must be engineered with heavy steel rebar cages and certified ready-mix concrete.
Standard strip foundations in stable Dublin ground are excavated to a minimum depth of 1,000mm to 1,200mm below finished ground level, reaching firm virgin boulder clay.
Consultations conducted Monday to Friday across South Dublin, North Dublin, Kildare, and Wicklow. Guaranteed itemized fixed-price RIAI tenders.
