Schnabel Foundation

A Schnabel Foundation is a type of deep basement or foundation system used to support large structures, especially in challenging soil conditions. It consists of reinforced concrete walls and a bottom slab that extend below the groundwater level to stabilize the building. The system spreads the building's load evenly into the ground, preventing settlement or movement. It's often used when constructing in areas with weak or variable soils or where minimizing surface disruption is important. This foundation method provides strong, stable support, ensuring the safety and longevity of the structure built above.
