Concrete Foundations and Retaining Walls

 

Foundations

Originally, foundations would be placed in to the ground, connected to one another, and then built on top of. These foundations were typically constructed using wood, but concrete was introduced to provide a stronger and longer-lived functionality. These days, the most effective are known as precast concrete foundations and footings. These lay underground, provide a solid foundation for construction, and can last for decades without even the slightest need for repair.
