Piling & Our Process

Our Piling Process: From Enquiry to Completion

Our process as dedicated piling contractors is designed for clarity. We start by reviewing your project and drawings, then provide a free quote. A site meeting assesses conditions, including soil bearing capacity and access, to discuss suitable piling types. A project manager then oversees your piling construction, managing the site team and deploying the ideal piling rig to deliver your solution on time and budget.

What is Mini Piling?

Mini piling is a specialized piling method for limited access and low headroom sites. Our compact piling rig ensures a quiet, efficient deep foundation where soil bearing capacity is poor.

Advantages of piling

Piling offers crucial advantages for modern piling construction, creating stable deep foundation solutions where shallow soil bearing capacity is poor. This technique enables building on otherwise unbuildable land. Its versatility, covering various piling types like driven piling, ensures a tailored, efficient solution for nearly any project, providing a durable base for your structure.

What is Piling?

Piling, in construction, refers to the fundamental process of creating deep foundations. When considering "what is piling" or "piling meaning," it essentially involves driving or boring long, slender columns, known as piles, deep into the ground. This method is employed when the shallow soil bearing capacity of soil is insufficient to support the weight of the proposed structure, or when loads need to be transferred to stronger, deeper strata. These concrete piles or other material types act as supportive stilts, effectively transferring the building's load to more stable ground. Understanding "what is piling in construction" is crucial for any project, particularly in areas with challenging ground bearing capacity. Our expert piling contractors excels in assessing site-specific conditions to determine the ideal piling types required. We use specialized piling rig equipment to ensure precise and efficient installation, making sure your foundation is built to last.

CFA Piling: Quiet Efficiency

CFA piling is a quiet, efficient piling method for unstable ground. Our pile rig uses a continuous flight auger to form seamless concrete pile for a fast, low-vibration deep foundation solution.

Why is Piling Necessary?

Piling is crucial when shallow soil bearing capacity is insufficient, preventing subsidence and structural failure. This piling construction transfers loads to stronger layers.

Dedicated Client Support

We support clients with a dedicated Client Relationship Manager and Project Manager. We offer free site visits to assess ground bearing capacity, ensuring the ideal piling types for your project.

Driven Piling: Robust Foundations

Involves installing pre-formed piles with a pile driver for heavy loads. This piling type provides a deep foundation by verifying soil bearing capacity, ensuring optimal stability.

SFA Piling: Confined Spaces

SFA Piling is an effective auger bored pile solution for restricted access and low headroom. This versatile piling type provides precise piling construction for deep foundation needs in challenging, confined spaces.

King Post Piling

King post piling provides deep foundation solutions, often used for retaining walls and temporary works. King posts are driven or bored into the ground.

Screw Piling: Fast, Eco-Friendly

Screw piling, or helical piling, offers rapid, low-impact foundations. These screw piles transfer loads to deeper strata without excavation.
