Special-Project Delivery
Structural work with clear control and responsibility.
Meath coordinates the agreed underpinning or strengthening package around the engineer’s design, inspection stages, temporary support and safe sequence of work.
Foundation works planned around the existing structure
Underpinning requires careful assessment of the building, ground, loads, access and adjacent structures. We review the available surveys, design information and site constraints before preparing the package.
Work proceeds only against suitable structural design information, agreed sequencing and identified inspection requirements.
Scope of Works
Foundation strengthening for existing buildings
The final method and sequence are determined by the structural design and actual site conditions.
Local Foundation Strengthening
Targeted strengthening around structural alterations, defects or additional loads.
Explore Structural Steels →Foundation Extensions
New and extended foundations coordinated with the existing structure.
Explore Small Groundworks →Ground Beams & Concrete
Reinforced-concrete elements installed to the structural engineer’s details.
Explore CFA & Mini Piling →Restricted-Access Works
Carefully planned internal and confined-area excavation and construction.
Explore CFA & Mini Piling →Reinstatement
Backfilling, floors, walls, finishes and associated making good after completion.

Design & Inspection
Built to the engineer’s requirements.
Meath does not determine the structural solution. The permanent works design, bay sequence, concrete specification, reinforcement, bearings and inspection hold points must be confirmed by the appointed structural engineer.
Before work starts:
responsibilities for design, temporary works, party-wall matters, approvals, monitoring and inspections must be clearly established for the project.
Have an underpinning or strengthening requirement?
Send the structural information, surveys, site location, access details and proposed programme.
