Whenever you are constructing a new structure and your excavation passes close to existing buildings or existing foundations, you need to consider underpinning the existing foundations. You cannot afford any settlement or movement of the adjoining structures. Objective:  To heighten awareness of the potential risks associated with excavating adjacent to existing structures. Including the often-overlooked risk of lowering the water table. H.R.3684 - Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act 11/15/21 The Bipartisan Infrastructure Act will rebuild America’s roads, bridges and rails, expand access to clean drinking water, ensure every American has access to high-speed internet, tackle the climate crisis, advance environmental justice, and invest in communities that have too often been left behind. Now that funds are available, the challenge is to develop the workforce necessary to successfully execute this ambitious program. We have compiled eighteen one-hour classes focused on the basic means and methods of constructing Infrastructure Projects. The media rich content demonstrates   construction details common to a wide variety of projects and will be invaluable to designers, builders and owners and help to insure successful outcomes.
