Our team will respond as quickly as possible to renovation projects in Nice, Cannes, Mougins and Valbonne.

In what circumstances does our team work on underpinning projects?

Whether it's carrying out work on the foundations of your future home or work related to the risk of structural deformation, our team of professionals is on hand to ensure the safety of your building site in Nice and the surrounding area. Underpinning may be necessary in the following cases:

  • poor adaptation of the foundations to the ground level;
  • when, after construction, the nature of the soil has changed due to climatic reasons (e.g. drought or flooding);
  • for creating an opening in a load-bearing wall;
  • in order to reinforce a floor or ground.

Stable and solid foundations and structural elements are essential for the long-term durability of your flat, house or commercial premises.

How is your underpinning work progressing?

After the structural engineer has completed their work, we take charge of the demolition, and the repairs to be carried out on your site. To do this, we carry out surveys to determine the nature of the soil, walls, slabs, floors, columns and beams. Once the surveys have been completed, the structural engineer returns to draw up plans for the demolition and repair work to be carried out on site. Masonry work will also be required as part of the underpinning project.

With the plans in hand, we begin by securing the site and its surroundings and carry out precise shoring before proceeding with the reinforcements. Once the reinforcements are in place, demolition and removal will be carried out by any means necessary, depending on the access to the site.

To avoid any risk of damage in the long term, our team carries out a thorough assessment and provides you with customised solutions depending on the nature of the repairs to be carried out. The aim is to protect you in the long term from any risk of instability and ground movement that could cause damage to your foundations.
