Ground movement can have a huge impact on a building’s foundations. This is because the movement causes the ground beneath the structure to sink, dragging the foundations down with it. The four main causes of ground movement are heave, landslip, settlement, and subsidence, and can all cause serious damage to a property if left untreated.
Volvo asked us to complete several works to repair and limit the impact of further ground movement on their site.
The first step was to remove the existing fire escape staircase on the site and provide a completely new foundation for the area to sit upon.
