Mini Piling and Underpinning


Foundation piling's skilled Engineering Team can design the most cost-effective solutions for your foundation needs, and to solve the most technically demanding problem.
 
With our comprehensive range of restricted access equipment and techniques we can gain access to the most restricted sites and install a range of mini pile types and diameters tailor made for your foundation requirement.
 

Whether your requirement is for rail, highway, civil construction, retail or domestic we are unrivalled in our expertise to perform a fast and effective job. With the help of noise suppression, fume extraction or even electric drives we can address the most restrictive environmental limits. We list below our main areas of mini-piling expertise;

Bored Cast-in-situ

Our range of bored minipile rigs are able to access the most difficult corners and operate under restricted conditions if required. Our range of rigs includes machines from Klemm, Hutte, Bauer and GP Services and we can bore piles in excess of 20m and in diameters up to 600mm. (all of these names should link to machine details)
 
Driven
 
We have the capability to drive 75-150mm minipiles under any extremely restricted conditions – our ‘Grundomat’ equipment can even be hand-carried if required.
More commonly, the small drop-hammer machines (D500) can pass through domestic doorways and operate in domestic headroom to drive BSP steel tube piles of diameters from 150mm to 325mm.
We can even drive small diameter 118/170mm ductile iron tube piles for high capacity loads under restricted headroom conditions.
 
Underpinning
 
With over 30 years experience as one of the UK's leading specialist underpinning contractors, few projects, large or small, are outside Foundation Piling's capabilities.
