Foundation Repair for Industrial Buildings in Atlanta, GA

Many foundation repair companies in the Atlanta, Georgia, area only have experience working on residential structures. However, repairing the foundation of an industrial building often requires a different approach as these structures can typically be much larger than the average home. If you are in need of industrial foundation repair services, you can turn with confidence to the professionals at Engineered Solutions of Georgia. For more than a decade, we’ve provided reliable foundation repair services to clients across a variety of industries.

Industrial foundation problems may be caused by a variety of reasons. Some of the most common reasons include:

• Naturally weak soil structures — If the underlying soil is too soft or too granular, it may not be capable of bearing the load of a large industrial building.
• Insufficient or improper soil compaction — If the soil beneath the building was not properly compacted before the foundation of the structure was built, the foundation may sink or settle unevenly over time.
• Fluctuation of the soil moisture content — When the soil contains too much moisture, such as after a heavy rain, it will swell. Then, as the moisture dissipates, the soil will shrink, causing the soil structures to shift. This can lead to weak pockets developing in the soil.
• Trees and bushes — When trees and bushes mature, they develop large root structures. Not only can these roots draw moisture out of the ground, causing it to shrink, but if they grow close enough to the foundation, the roots themselves can cause damage to the foundation.

To repair damage on your industrial building’s foundation and prevent further damage from occurring, we can employ trusted foundation repair techniques, such as:

• Helical piering
• Resistance piering
• Underpinning
