Overview
We installed over 80 bored piles ranging in diameter from 450mm to 750mm, with depths of up to 7 metres, as part of a multifaceted foundation package. These piles were designed to support various structural elements, including crib facilities, retaining structures, and temporary shoring systems. The project demanded precise execution to accommodate varied load requirements and ground conditions across the site. Our team delivered the works efficiently and to specification, ensuring structural stability and continuity of construction activities. The solution provided both permanent and temporary support, contributing to the overall safety and functionality of the site during and after construction.
Challenges
The project was carried out on a sloping site with tight access and low headroom beneath an existing bridge, presenting significant logistical and engineering challenges. These site conditions required the use of compact, low-clearance piling equipment and carefully sequenced construction activities to navigate the restricted working environment. The slope added complexity to equipment setup and pile alignment, while the overhead bridge structure limited maneuverability and rig height. Through detailed planning and adaptive methods, our team was able to safely and efficiently deliver the foundation works without compromising on quality or project timelines.
Solution
Piletech redesigned the piling layout and used specialised equipment to install 6m deep piles under a 5m bridge. All works were completed safely while keeping the corridor open and within a narrow 4m working zone.
