Digging deep: Deep foundation design challenges. With space at a premium in many urban areas, developers are digging deeper foundations to increase the square footage of residential, commercial, and mixed-use building projects. In other cases, a deep foundation may be needed due to large design loads or poor soil at shallow depths.
