PIER FOUNDATIONS
Pier foundations are exclusively used for timber framed buildings where the nature of the structure means that they only need support in isolated points known as point loads, A pad foundation is created by excavating or augering a hole to a size and depth as specified by the engineer and is always excavated down to firm, load bearing ground. The pad is then mass filled with concrete up to ground level. Piers are constructed using reinforced plastic tubing which is placed into the concrete and are then filled with concrete. These then form stable piers upon which the structure can be built. Sometimes instead of the tubes, blockwork piers are specified which are built from the concrete pads. Accuracy is key in forming this type of foundation as the building must sit exactly upon the piers.
