Underpinning
Service.
Underpinning requires careful structural design to stabilise and strengthen existing foundations, particularly where movement or subsidence has occurred. A well-engineered solution is essential to restore structural integrity and ensure long-term stability.
At Rivet Engineering, we assess ground conditions and existing foundations to design practical underpinning solutions tailored to your property. Our detailed calculations and clear drawings ensure full compliance with UK Building Regulations, providing a safe and reliable approach to foundation stabilisation

Retaining Walls
Underpinning is used to improve the performance of existing foundations where conditions such as ground movement, changes in load, or structural alterations require additional support. A properly designed solution ensures the structure remains stable and fit for purpose.
Following a detailed assessment, we design underpinning solutions tailored to your property and site conditions. Our focus is on practical, buildable designs supported by clear drawings and accurate calculations, helping ensure a smooth construction process and full compliance with UK Building Regulations.
