Bored Piles
Bored piles, also known as drilled piles, are cast-in-place piles tailored to various sizes and lengths, making them highly versatile for different project needs.
Bored Piles
Bored piles, also known as drilled piles, are cast-in-place piles tailored to various sizes and lengths, making them highly versatile for different project needs. The process involves drilling into the ground to remove soil, which is then replaced with concrete. This method is ideal for foundations requiring deep penetration into stable strata, offering strong support for heavy loads.
Key Benefits:
- Customisable to specific site conditions.
- Suitable for urban environments with minimal vibration.
- Ideal for projects requiring deep foundations.
Soldier Piles
Soldier piles involve driving or drilling steel or concrete piles at vertical intervals along a shoring wall.
Soldier Piles
This technique is particularly effective in soils that are typically self-supporting or when excavation is carried out in stages. In addition to the piles, we offer shotcrete and anchoring services to stabilise the soil between the piles, enhancing the overall integrity of the excavation site.
Key Benefits:
- Effective for retaining walls in deep excavations.
Allows staged excavation, improving site safety. - Can be combined with shotcrete and anchoring for enhanced stability.
- Soldier piles involve driving or drilling steel or concrete piles at vertical intervals along a shoring wall.
Continuous Flight Auger (CFA) PIles
CFA piles are constructed using an auger to excavate the soil, followed by injecting concrete through a hollow shaft under pressure as the auger is withdrawn.
Continuous Flight Auger (CFA) PIles
CFA piles are constructed using an auger to excavate the soil, followed by injecting concrete through a hollow shaft under pressure as the auger is withdrawn. This method allows for the simultaneous drilling and concreting of the pile, significantly speeding up the installation process compared to traditional bored piles. Reinforcement is then added to the wet concrete to provide the necessary structural strength.
Key Benefits:
- Rapid installation process.
- Minimal noise and vibration, making it ideal for urban areas.
- Creates a continuous wall of reinforced concrete, which can serve as both temporary and permanent shoring.
Micro Piling
Micro piling, also known as mini piling, is a specialised technique used for projects with restricted access or when traditional piling methods are not feasible due to site constraints.
Micro PIling
Micro piling, also known as mini piling, is a specialised technique used for projects with restricted access or when traditional piling methods are not feasible due to site constraints. These piles are smaller in diameter but can be installed to great depths, providing significant load-bearing capacity. Micro piling is particularly useful in situations where overhead space is limited, such as in basements or under existing structures.
Key Benefits:
- Ideal for sites with limited access or low headroom.
- Can be installed in a variety of ground conditions.
- Provides strong support in challenging environments.
Restricted Access Piling
Low headroom restricted access piling is designed for environments where space is severely limited, such as inside existing buildings or beneath overhead obstructions.
Restricted Access Piling
Low headroom restricted access piling is designed for environments where space is severely limited, such as inside existing buildings or beneath overhead obstructions. This method allows for the installation of piles in areas where traditional piling rigs cannot operate, ensuring that even the most challenging sites can be effectively developed.
Key Benefits:
- Enables piling in confined spaces.
- Minimises disruption to existing structures.
- Essential for urban and renovation projects where access is limited.
