Learn MoreFoundations
Foundations is part of a larger construction system that connects planning, materials, machines, workers, safety rules, schedules, and inspections. Construction teams use drawings, measurements, survey data, engineering calculations, and specialized equipment to turn a design into a real structure. Professionals must also manage weight, soil conditions, weather, utilities, traffic, access, noise, dust, cost, and worker safety. This page explains the equipment and process at a high level rather than giving hazardous operating instructions.
