Piling Solutions
We provide comprehensive piling solutions including driven precast concrete piles, steel tubular piles, and specialist techniques like CFA and CHD piles. Our solutions suit various ground conditions while minimising environmental impact through reduced spoil generation. With capacity to manufacture over 1.2 million metres annually, we ensure timely delivery for projects of all scales.
Ground Improvement
Our ground improvement techniques enhance soil bearing capacity using vibro stone columns and helical displacement inclusions. These methods provide cost-effective alternatives to traditional piling while achieving settlement control. We've successfully implemented these solutions across infrastructure and industrial projects nationwide.
Restricted Access Piling
We specialise in restricted access solutions using compact equipment for sites with limited headroom or space constraints. Techniques include bottom-driven minipiles, grundermat systems, and sectional flight auger piling. These methods enable foundation installation in challenging locations like existing buildings and urban environments.
Precast Foundations
Our precast foundation systems combine RBeam ground beams with precast caps for rapid installation. This non-weather-dependent solution reduces construction time by 30-40% compared to traditional methods while minimising waste. The system is particularly suited to residential developments and commercial buildings.
Underpinning
We deliver underpinning solutions using mini-piling techniques to transfer structural loads to deeper, stable ground. Our methods include needle beam systems and jack pile rafts that provide vibration-free reinforcement for existing structures. This approach minimises disruption while enhancing foundation stability for commercial and residential properties.
