KEY FINDINGS

· The total UK market for specialist foundations is projected to increase by 45 percent during the last five years to reach a value of £449 million (€732 million) in 2001
· The piling sector accounts for the most significant proportion of the UK specialist foundations market at 66 percent in 2001. The ground improvement market is estimated to account for 22 percent, whilst the remaining 12 percent is represented by the underpinning sector
· The UK market for piling increased significantly during the review period, rising by 21 percent in 2001 to reach £294 million (€479 million)
· MSI believe the most substantial market growth occurred in the UK market for embedded retaining walls, which is expected to increase by 38 percent in 2001. The main driver behind the increase in demand is believed to be the CTRL project, which has required extensive diaphragm walling in particular
· There are a number of important factors that affect demand for specialist foundations, including the level of construction activity, the economy, urban regeneration projects, construction development on brownfield sites and contaminated land, geographical location of construction activity and the size and load bearing capacity of the structure
· MSI forecast that there will be continued growth in all sectors of the specialist foundations market between 2002 and 2006. Indeed, the market is expected to increase by 26 percent during the forecast period, which is a somewhat lower rate of growth than that observed during the review period
· The most significant increases are expected to be in the piling and underpinning sectors during the forecast period, rising by 31 percent and 25 percent respectively
· The long term problem of over capacity in the specialist foundations industry has been eased during the review period due to the influx of large contracts available for contractors to compete for

The following diagram illustrates the trends within the various sectors of the specialist foundations market between 1997 and 2006:
