Basement: Unfavorable ground conditions require special construction

  • 3 months ago

A "white tank" is often required on unreliable ground. This refers to a construction made of waterproof concrete, which is used particularly in damp or difficult ground conditions. This method effectively prevents the ingress of water, but requires precise execution and special concrete mixtures in order to function reliably in the long term. The Verband Privater Bauherren points this out.

However, it often leads to additional costs if the building ground has problems such as a low load-bearing capacity or complex soil conditions. The additional costs can be incurred, for example, for stabilizing the ground or for special construction methods in order to provide a secure foundation for the structure. It is therefore important to carry out a detailed analysis of the ground before construction begins and, if necessary, to pay for the adaptation of the construction plan.

It is advisable to consult independent building experts when planning and constructing buildings on difficult sites. Experts can provide valuable advice and ensure that all necessary technical and legal requirements are met. They can also help to identify and minimize potential additional costs that could arise from unexpected ground problems.
