Foundation equipment refers to the tools and machinery used in construction to create a stable base for buildings and other structures. This equipment includes items like drilling rigs, pile drivers, and excavators, which help in digging, driving piles into the ground, and preparing the site for further construction. These machines are essential for ensuring that the foundation can support the weight of the structure above it. Proper use of foundation equipment helps prevent issues like settling or shifting, which can lead to structural damage over time.
