Our History:

We are an underpinning and piling company in KwaZulu-Natal. The company was established as Foundation Support Systems and the name was changed to Pilekon Construction (Pty) LTD in 2018 as part of a management buyout. With over 15 years of knowledge and experience in the highly specialized field of geotechnical and structural engineering, we have built our company up to tackle foundation repair with our various methods of underpinning and micro pilling. We are also involved in the building industry where we build houses / pools from the ground up or renovate and extend properties. We have project management experience and have worked in a consultant capacities on various overseas projects.

Underpinning and Piling:

Underpinning is necessary on a structure where differential settlement has occurred for one of the below most common following reasons:  Uneven Settlement - this could be caused by uneven loading of the building and insufficient load bearing foundations.  Increase in Loading - this could be due to the addition of an extra storey or an increase in imposed loadings such as that which may occur with a change of use.  Lowering of Adjacent Ground - usually required when constructing a basement adjacent to existing foundations.

We specialise in different methods of underpinning and piling, we utilise our wealth of knowledge and experience to give the customer the best solution for the foundation settlement that they may be experiencing on their property, we do reinforced bottom-driven steel cased concrete pile, jack-piles and open auger piles.
