Bottom driven mini piles were installed through pre augered holes to ensure a sufficient depth of pile was achieved on site through potentially obstructed ground.
York Art Gallery
York Art Gallery underwent a major redevelopment and as part of the works a new mezzanine floor was installed. Piled foundations were installed to support the additional loadings from this new floor. As the works had to be carried out internally and access to the area of works was via a door opening small mini piling rigs were used to install bottom driven mini piles.
Legoland, Fairy Tale Brook
The Fairy Tale Brook was redeveloped with new models. The models needed piled foundations to support them and due to the very restricted access to the areas our 150mm diameter bottom driven steel cased mini piles where installed using a Grundomat piling hammer.
Worksop Primary
A new school building was constructed alongside the existing school. Due to poor ground conditions traditional strip foundations would have been uneconomical and therefore bottom driven piles were installed with reinforced concrete ground beams to support the new construction.
Appleby North Signal Box – Driven Piles
The existing signal box had started to settle as a consequence of its age and that it was sitting on 15 metres of very soft ground. Due to the very restricted access around the structure, limited headroom restriction and that the works were close to ‘live’ tracks our small mini piling rig was utilised to install bottom driven mini piles.
Underpinning
A bungalow started to suffer with clay heave related subsidence as the surrounding tress grew larger. Augered mini piles and reinforce concrete underpinning needle beams were installed to support the external walls of the property. All the works were carried out externally which allowed the client to remain in residence during the works.
