Strip foundation excavation

Strip foundation excavation digs to the formation level specified by the structural engineer. We excavate to the correct depth and width, manage water and leave a clean formation for concrete.

Strip foundation excavation usually becomes urgent when recurring symptoms begin affecting programme confidence, compliance, or delivery reliability.

• Strip foundations in design
• Formation level from drawings
