Warehouses and Factories

Sinking foundations in factories, un-level concrete floors, driveways and hardstand areas are common problems for warehouses and manufacturing complexes which suffer from subsidence.

Subsidence tends to happen where the original foundations of a facility are unsuitable for the ground it has originally been built on and can also be due to extreme weather conditions which put a strain on its foundations. If a factory floor drops, causing it to slope, the facility can fall below safe operational limits.

Mainmark specialise in non-invasive, cost effective solutions that rectify factory and warehouse subsidence and can provide stabilisation and ground improvement to lift and relevel the floor without affecting day-to-day operations.

Commercial Buildings

Commercial buildings such as shopping centres and offices need to be fully operational to generate revenue. However, they can suffer from settlement of the ground beneath their foundations or slabs, and uneven settlement of external paved areas – all of which are detrimental to the building’s operation.

If subsidence occurs beneath a commercial building, it is imperative it is dealt with quickly and efficiently to minimise any loss of revenue and consequential costs to the owner or occupier.

Mainmark specialise in commercial building re-levelling and can raise and re-support buildings and above ground structures of any size. Our solutions are non-invasive and cost effective, meaning remediation can be achieved with minimal disruption to the occupants, and in most cases, commercial premises are able to remain open and function as usual.

Industrial

Industrial complexes and facilities such as tank farms, steelworks and heavy-duty concrete plants often suffer from ground subsidence, or require industrial foundation repair and stabilisation. They can sometimes require increased foundation bearing capacity, due to changes in the industrial processes that can affect the foundations.

Mainmark provide cost-effective solutions for industrial subsidence issues using quick, non-invasive ground engineering processes that provide stabilisation and ground-improvement without affecting the operation of production sites and heavy industrial facilities.

Infrastructure

Infrastructure such as railways, roads, bridges and airport runways can often suffer from ground subsidence, deteriorating infrastructure and broken pipelines that can cause serious issues to public safety and expensive damage in need of urgent repair.

Mainmark can provide vital ground engineering and preservation solutions designed to raise, re-level and re-support ageing infrastructure in order to enhance its safety and stability.

Our cost-effective solutions have been expertly developed to resolve infrastructure issues quickly with minimal disruption and operations can continue during the remediation work.

Public Buildings

Public buildings such as national or civic treasures, historic buildings like churches, halls and castles, and buildings of value to the community such as museums, libraries and art galleries can often suffer from foundation ground settlement or instability. This is commonly due to age, and as a result of the building’s original foundations being insufficient. If subsidence occurs to public buildings, preservation, rather than rebuilding is a priority, and it is extremely important that the remedial work is done with minimal intrusion.

Mainmark has built a strong reputation in the remediation works necessary to help ensure the stability of foundations for generations to come. Our non-invasive, cost effective and time efficient re-levelling methods can raise and re-support public buildings and historic houses of any size. As no excavations are required, in many cases, the building can continue to be used by the public during remediation.
