| Three farm buildings
in Petersfield were being converted into 2 luxury houses.
The floor levels had to be lowered below the existing
footings because of the low ceilings.

But the high water table ruled out traditional underpinning
and so we designed a scheme that placed 140 mini driven
piles into the underlying sand strata.
A 250 mm thick reinforced concrete slab was cast on
top and projected beneath the existing footings. The
gap between the new slab and existing footings was then
drypacked. |
