Services
Piling
We provide augered, contiguous flight augered, and driven piling systems tailored to site-specific challenges. Our equipment handles diameters from 300mm to 900mm, with depths reaching 25 metres. This ensures stable foundations for residential extensions, commercial developments, and infrastructure projects in restricted-access locations.
Ground Beams
Our reinforced concrete ground beams connect pile systems to create robust substructures. With over 40 years' experience, we excavate and install beams to precise specifications, ensuring structural integrity for buildings on challenging ground conditions including clay subsoils.
Retaining Walls
We construct retaining walls to stabilise banks and create basement spaces. Our expertise spans both small-scale domestic projects and large commercial developments, using piling techniques that adapt to varying ground conditions while maintaining structural safety and compliance.
Underpinning
Our underpinning services stabilise existing structures affected by ground movement. Specialised compact machinery enables internal building access to install support piles, preventing further subsidence while minimising disruption to property occupants and adjacent structures.
Slabs and Rafts
We deliver slab and raft foundations as alternatives to traditional ground beams. These systems suit shallow excavation requirements, providing level, stable bases for residential and commercial buildings while accommodating challenging ground conditions and site constraints.
