The foundation is a structural element of a building, the task of which is to transfer the load to the subsoil in such a way that the subsoil does not settle excessively, and the entire structure – foundation – subsoil system is stable.
Due to the foundation, we distinguish:
- direct foundations, including strip foundations, slab foundations, foundation grids, reinforced concrete foundation boxes,
- intermediate foundations, including piles, foundation wells, caisson foundations, diaphragm walls.
The basis for undertaking foundation works is the development by the project implementation department of the Safe Work Instructions for the task, using the BIOZ Plan and the executive design for the specific type of works.
In the event that the given foundation works are classified as particularly dangerous works, the company provides direct and constant supervision, responsible for allowing employees to work and carrying out the works. All employees are competent, with current medical examinations, OHS training and instructions.
