pile foundations

Pile foundations are deep support structures used to transfer building loads to stable soil or rock deep beneath the surface. They are long, sturdy columns made of materials like concrete, steel, or timber, driven or drilled into the ground when surface soils are weak or unsuitable for support. By reaching deeper, piles provide stability and prevent settlement or shifting of the structure. Pile foundations are commonly used for large buildings, bridges, and structures on challenging sites where surface soils cannot bear the weight safely.
