What Are Structural Works?
Our projects span from underpinning basements in London homes to addressing structural defects in commercial properties. Regardless of project size, we consistently go above and beyond to meet requirements and exceed expectations, all while adhering to timelines and budgets. These qualities set our construction company apart from the competition.
Our services include the following:
The removal of load-bearing walls must be calculated carefully to maintain structural stability. Sixth Sense Contractors engineers can create detailed plans and drawings. We can then remove load-bearing walls to improve a property’s layout.
Propping
Propping involves temporarily supporting loads and stabilizing structures using various materials.
Our teams rely on Acrow props for medium-weight loads, with other systems including:
- Mono Props
- Titan Props
- Tilt Props
- Trishore Props
Underpinning
Our underpinning work increases foundation depth or strengthens existing support systems. This is crucial for bearing additional storeys or addressing instability. We are experienced in traditional mass concrete pouring and RC framework methods. Underpinning involves sectional excavating below the structure’s footing and filling cavities with poured concrete.
Foundations
Foundations transfer a building’s gravity load into the ground and must ensure safety and stability. There are two types: shallow and deep. We determine the best type based on building and ground conditions. Shallow foundations are used when surface soil provides sufficient support, while deep foundations transfer loads to more stable soil deeper underground.
Refurbishments
Our fully trained workforce can handle property refurbishments throughout London and surrounding areas. Services include structural repairs, modifications, substructure and superstructure works, RC framework, façade retention, and temporary support. Our project managers, qualified in civil engineering, oversee refurbishments from start to finish.
Excavations
Excavation involves removing earth to create ground cavities using heavy machinery. Each team member adheres to current health and safety protocols during all groundwork stages. We adopt various techniques during excavations to safely support our work and prevent collapses.
