Special foundation engineering

We design and build foundations even where standard methods fail — from geological survey through project documentation to handover.

About the technology

Every structure is only as strong as its foundations. In difficult geology — loose soils, high groundwater, dense urban infill — standard shallow foundations are not enough. That is where special foundation engineering comes in.

EKIA has specialised in foundation engineering since 1991, carrying on the expertise of the former Geoindustria enterprise. Based on a geological survey we propose the most suitable method, prepare the documentation and deliver the complete works.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

When is special foundation engineering needed?

Mainly on sites with unfavourable geology (fills, clays, high groundwater), for infill construction, underpinning of existing foundations and wherever shallow foundations cannot provide sufficient bearing capacity.

How much does it cost?

The price depends on geology, scope and technology. After a free consultation we prepare a specific quotation, usually within a few working days.

Do you work across the whole Czech Republic?

Yes. We are based in Libochovice and deliver projects nationwide — our references include Prague, the D8 motorway and international projects.

Got a project that needs special foundation work?

We'll prepare a solution proposal and price quote free of charge. We just need a few details about the construction.
