A restricted access site between two existing properties required mini-piled foundations to prevent undermining of the neighbouring properties by means of deep excavated trenches. Clay ground conditions required an augered mini pile solutions using a small lightweight piling rig.
Due to a tree preservation order, deep excavations were not permitted for the above development and therefore a piled reinforced concrete slab was constructed. This minimised the potential damage to the tree roots and kept the excavations into the ground within the allowed depths.
A challenging site which clients wanted to construct a property on a steep slope. Driven piles were installed using a small rig, which could access the restricted areas. Reinforced concrete ground beams were constructed however ‘steps’ in the beams were required to follow the slope of the ground.
Due to the presence of drainage running underneath the proposed conservatory piled foundations were utilised to allow the foundations to be cast so that the foundation could ’span’ over the drainage without damaging it.
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.
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.
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.
