With over 25 years of experience working in the commercial foundations industry, we’re fully prepared to provide business clients with high quality designs and installations. From concrete foundations to sheet piling, we have the expertise to handle a wide range of building projects and site requirements.
Piling is a type of ground treatment that forms the basis of construction, where piles are driven into the earth below ground level. Pile foundations strengthen the soil, helping to support the load of the building erected on top of it. As such, the bigger the building, the deeper the foundations required. Our commercial foundation contractors utilise modern piling rigs that are suited to the majority of ground conditions, providing high quality results with every installation..
A variety of piles can be used to transfer the building load to the ground. With the exception of sheet piling, which is typically used to support the lateral load of the building and also to act as a supporting wall, the pile varieties used in construction include auger bored piles, steel cased driven piles, and screw piles.
Our steel and concrete foundation experts will assess your site and then advise you on the best course of action for your project. We’ll be able to ascertain whether to use concrete foundations or alternative piling materials. From there, you’ll receive a free estimate on the work that is required for the project. Once we’ve completed the piling process, we can then provide you with further services as required, including the installation of reinforced ground beams. With a wealth of commercial experience to draw from, we understand how to provide you with a high quality service at an affordable price point. Speak to our team today to find out more.
We offer a range from 200mm through to 600mm, and up to 25m deep auger bored piles, using a range of rigs that are suitable for the smallest most restricted sites, up to large open industrial sites.
Driven piles are used on sites where ground conditions are particularly soft, granular, or wet.
Driven piles are formed from thin-walled, cylindrical steel pile tubes. These are driven into the ground using a drop hammer piling rig. Individual pile tube lengths vary from 1 to 3 metres, and are fully welded together during the pile driving process. The piles are driven to a predetermined set, calculated by our structural engineer in advance. They are then filled with reinforcement and concrete.
We’re able to install bottom driven piles with diameters ranging from 100mm up to 273mm.
