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.
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.
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.
New piled foundations were required to support a new domestic dwelling for a private client who was undertaking a self-build property.
‘A big thank you for a job well done. Thank the lads for piling, meshing up and concreting, being efficient and very tidy.’
‘Thanks very much for a job well done. The lads are excellent and thorough. Paul and Mark must be one of your best assets – look after them! I can’t thank you enough. All the best to you Nick, you have been a rock. Thanks for your time and energy.’
‘May I just let you know that it makes a refreshing change to be able to write a letter of praise for your efforts here in Leeds. Once again, I have been impressed by your company and in the way you have set-up and got the job done in very good time. I have been impressed with your health and safety and have been equally impressed with your men on site – they have been a credit to your company. So many thanks, and look forward to working with you again’
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.
