The Challenge

This month, our Warsaw team had the privilege of undertaking a significant structural project on a stunning historic property near the city. This case study highlights our expertise in historic building repair and preserving the architectural heritage construction of Poland.

At Target Fixings, we thrive on the structural challenges in restricted access that others deem impossible. We’re not just selling a product; we’re delivering structural solutions in the most demanding environments. This case study—a complex foundation reinforcement project on a steep Scottish incline—demonstrates exactly how our Heli Pile system overcomes extreme access obstacles.

We can provide a lasting solution for your failing retaining wall with our Heli Pile system, which offers a reliable method for retaining wall repair without extensive excavation. Our specialized Heli Piles are installed to stabilize the wall and prevent further wall cracking, providing a permanent structural fix against future movement and subsidence. This non-invasive process ensures a durable and strong foundation, securing your retaining wall and restoring its integrity for years to come.

When faced with bulging walls or bowing walls, our Bow Flex system provides a discreet and permanent structural repair from the outside. The ties work as an effective form of lateral restraint, securing the masonry to internal floor joists to prevent further movement and wall cracking. This solution offers a non-disruptive alternative to traditional repairs, ensuring a lasting structural fix against subsidence and instability.

When a building suffers from subsidence, our combined structural repair system of Heli Piles and Bar Flex offers a comprehensive and lasting solution. The Heli Piles are installed to provide deep, stable underpinning, creating a new foundation that supports the building and prevents further movement. Simultaneously, Bar Flex masonry reinforcement is used to stitch and repair cracks in walls, restoring the integrity of the brickwork and providing a complete fix for house subsidence.

For a challenging structural repair on a listed or historic building, our combination of Heli Piles and Bar Flex offers a sympathetic and permanent solution for subsidence repair. The Heli Piles provide deep underpinning, discreetly stabilizing the original foundations without invasive excavation, while our masonry repair specialist team uses Bar Flex to stitch and repair cracks in stone walls and fix a bowing wall. This method expertly restores structural integrity, preserving the historic character of the building, including features like granite stone repair.

Located in Newbury, this project showcases our expertise as a masonry repair specialist near me, using a combination of our Bow Flex Type 2 and Dri Flex systems to address a severe bulging wall. The Bow Flex ties were discreetly installed to provide essential structural repair, acting as a cavity wall tie replacement and securely connecting the bulging brickwork to the floor joists to prevent future movement. Simultaneously, our Dri Flex system was used for crack stitching, sealing and reinforcing the extensive cracks in brick walls to restore the wall’s integrity and aesthetic.

We used Heli Pile foundation piles to stabilize a sinking extension, reinforcing the walls to prevent further damage. Pile tests can often determine if they have sufficient load-bearing capacity.

We successfully completed a challenging subsidence repair project by installing our Heli Pile system in a tightly confined space, avoiding the environmental damage of traditional excavation. This innovative approach provided a permanent and environmentally friendly solution for building new foundations and protecting the home from future structural movement. Our specialized team skillfully performed the necessary structure repairs with minimal disruption, proving our Heli Piles are the ideal solution for complex and sensitive projects.
