How To Lay A Strong Foundation When Building On A Water Logged Land
Building on waterlogged land is risky and stressful but highly possible. When building on soggy ground, it is advised that you invest in a rock-solid foundation.
A solid foundation helps prevent accidents or any future catastrophe that is likely to happen with a building built on such land if it lacks a strong foundation.
When building on the soggy land first, excavation of the soil is done. Builders are advised to dig at least 5 feet deep, after which large hard rocks are used to fill the opening, followed by smaller stones/gravels.
Large heaps of sand are then added and compressed to fill every gap in the soil. The combination is then left for some time to merge well together. Then, depending on how easily the land gets flooded, it is left in that state for 6 to 12 months to be compact enough for construction.
