Based on the findings of a comprehensive survey of underpinning practice, the report gives guidance on: how to determine that a foundation problem exists and the need for underpinning; how to recognise the circumstances in which underpinning is appropriate; how to conduct a site investigation; the scope and depth of underpinning; and how to choose which type of underpinning to adopt.
