    How to use "Underpinning" in context?

    Underpinning is a critical part of a building's foundation. Without a strong foundation, a building can easily be shaken or collapsed. A foundation is also important for protecting the building from water and other contaminants that could damage the structure.

    An underpinning system transmits loads to the foundation and anchors the building to the soil. The system includes the below-grade foundation, the reinforcing mesh and anchoring system, and the pumping and controls system.

    The foundation must be able to support the building's weight and prevent differential settlement, which can cause the building to tilt or bow.
