CFA Piling
Ideal for urban projects due to its relatively low vibration and noise levels, continuous flight auger, or (CFA) piling, is the process of drilling a continuous auger into the ground. Once the auger has reached the correct depth, concrete can be added along with the piling rig and hollow stem auger. The auger is then removed before reinforced steel cages are installed instantly.
CFA piling is often used for the following purposes:

• New property builds in busy environments
• Highways, tunnels and other infrastructure
• Flood protection and more besides
• Bridges and similarly complex builds
• Earth retention near adjacent properties
• Deep foundations below the water table

Mini Piling
Unlike other piling processes, mini piling uses less concrete and steel to ensure a lower carbon footprint. As basement specialists, we possess high-quality equipment designed to work in small areas to carry out mini piling.

A piling foundation, like mini pilings, is recommended by geotechnical engineers, local authorities, and architects for many reasons, including:

• Having large design loads
• The presence of a poor ground condition
• There is limited access where soil excavation and removal would cause issues and be cost-inefficient

RC Slab Foundations
Also known as raft foundations, RC slab foundations are designed to spread a load across a flat area – allowing the structure to ‘float’.

RC slab foundations are ideal for construction projects where:

• Areas of unobstructed ground
• Where there is a limited work height or restricted workspace
• In the presence of unstable ground conditions

Steel Cased Driven Piling
Steel cased driven piling can provide a value-engineered solution for sites with the appropriate soil condition. Steel cased driven piles are usually bottom driven with a drop hammer piling rig or a vibratory mole/Grundomat. This process is commonly used for:

• Made ground
• Contaminated land
• Gravelly ground
• Ground that has high water tables
