Foundation Design Solutions

Foundation Design

The poor load bearing properties of the soils in the Hull area has led to Alan Wood & Partners having engineers in all the offices experienced in the design and detailing of difficult and unusual foundation solutions. The practice is constantly working on projects requiring piled foundations, rafts, ground improvement etc.

We have experience with Foundation Design in the following sectors:

  • Domestic
  • Commercial
  • Industrial
  • Retail
  • Leisure
  • Food Industry
