    With this in mind, we provide piling services across the Northwest region in the following areas:

    What Are The Five Types Of Piling?

    Different types of piling are designed to serve specific purposes in construction projects, each with its own advantages (depending on the site’s requirements and challenges).

    Driven piles are made from preformed concrete, steel, or timber. They are hammered into the ground using a pile-driving machine. They can handle heavy loads, making them ideal for large-scale infrastructure projects.

    Bored piles are made by excavating a hole in the ground and filling it with reinforced concrete. They’re ideal for sites with hard soil and rock layers and if minimal vibration is required, for example, near existing buildings.

    Mini piles have a small diameter and are ideal for residential projects with limited or restricted access. It’s a cost-effective solution for small-scale work.

    Sheet piles are long and thin, made of interlocking steel or concrete sheets to create a solid barrier. They’re typically used for retaining walls, basement constructions, and flood defence projects.

    Screw piles are made of a steel shaft and helical plates (similar to a giant screw). They are rotated into the ground to create a sturdy and reliable support. Screw piles are a popular option for lightweight structures or where quick installation is needed.

    What Comes After Piling?

    Once the piling is complete, the construction of your project’s structure begins. This involves laying foundations on top of the piles and installing the building’s framework.

    How Do You Know If I Need Piling Services?
    If your site’s ground conditions are unstable or unable to support the planned structure’s weight, sourcing a piling contractor is a smart idea. Common signs of unstable soil include loose soil, high water levels visible in the soil, or existing nearby structures showing signs of sinking.
    Can Piling Be Done In The Rain?
    Yes, piling services can usually continue in the rain, but it’s worth noting that extreme weather conditions may cause delays for safety reasons. Our main priority is always the safety of our team and your team to ensure all piling work is carried out safely and efficiently.
    Do All Houses Need Piling?

    Not all houses and buildings require piling. Piling services are most useful when the ground conditions on the site are unsuitable for standard foundations or for buildings with heavy structural loads.
