In restricted access situations, where heavy conventional equipment cannot be used, we provide a choice of piling systems such as cased auger, continuous fight auger (CFA), drilled rock socket or driven. With a number of these methods, and using our bespoke equipment, piles can now be constructed to carry very high working loads to give an efficient and cost effective foundation solution. We specialise in dealing with difficult ground conditions in poor access and limited space situations.
A number of our mini rigs are able to enter buildings via a normal service entrance or a standard doorway.
To give quiet and fume free indoor working conditions, many of our hydraulically powered rigs can be run by an externally situated diesel engined powerpack whilst others are electric and can use a suitable in-house supply or suitably located generator.
Scope
•Piles in soft soils, obstructed ground and rock.
•Bearing piles and piled retaining walls.
•Diameters from 100mm to 600mm.
•Axial capacities up to 2000kN, according to ground conditions.
•Headroom as low as 2.0m.
•Rubber Tracked rigs for sensitive surfaces.
Applications
•Sites with noise and/or vibration restrictions.
•Areas where weight or surcharge limits apply.
•Restricted access and/or headroom sites.
•Operating retail stores and factories.
•Archaeologically sensitive sites.
•Underpinning sensitive buildings and structures from within.
