Design of the bases in Astana

During the calculating and design of the base it is necessary to consider topography, character of soil and feature of climate. For example, the base of the house standing on loamy or clayey ground experiences serious influence of ground waters. Similar soil can settle and be washed away over time. At the same time the moisture absorbed to the base in the conditions of the lowered temperatures freezes, creating so-called effect of "swelling". Often it occurs in that case when frost penetration depth around construction of the base is much lower than groundwater table. As a result the base of structure rises in the winter, and in warm season when the frozen water thaws, falls again, eventually leading to distortion of all house.

Therefore, construction of the base needs to be trusted the experienced designers having all necessary licenses and capable to execute projects of any complexity, taking into account climatic features and specifics of soil.
