Concrete/Steel Pilings
Concrete and steel pilings are support tools used in the foundation building process. They are essential to supporting the building that is on top of them because it guarantees a durable foundation and helps to prevent future movement. Vertical columns are built from concrete or steel and then drilled into the ground to give support to the building that will go on top of the pilings. Typically they are used in the instance of extremely heavy loads, but have been used to support homes. When the soil or water level is at a point that it would eventually interfere with the foundation of the home, concrete or steel pilings are placed in the ground first to give additional support to the structure of the home.
