Screw Piling Contractors Melbourne

Screw Piles Melbourne

Screw Piles also known as helical piles, are constructed using steel shafts with helical flights. The shafts are advanced to bearing depth by twisting them into the soil while monitoring torque to estimate the pile capacity. A thorough understanding of the subsurface conditions is necessary to properly interpret the torque conversion. Screw piles are a versatile and efficient solution for both residential and commercial projects.

These piles are screwed into the ground, providing immediate load-bearing capacity. Our screw piling services are quick to install and suitable for various soil types. Installing screw piles with a sound understanding of the underlying stratum is essential as screw piles are an end bearing pile and cannot adequately perform without the helix being installed in a soil layer capable of bearing the design load.

Bored Piling Contractors Melbourne

Bored Piles Melbourne

Bored Piles, are typically high-capacity cast-in-place deep foundation elements constructed using different machinations of auger types and diameters. Once the diameter of a pile is designed, a hole or shaft is drilled to the design depth. In principal a very simple process, however it is common for site specific issues to add complications, as one example collapsing ground.

Bored piles involve drilling a hole into the ground and filling it with reinforced concrete. This method is ideal for projects requiring deep foundations in areas with challenging soil conditions. Our bored piling services ensure minimal disruption and maximum stability. If a bored hole requires intervention to remain open a steel casing is often required so that the design requirements of a pile can be achieved. It is also common for the utilisation of drilling fluids to further aid hole support and or flush impurities out of the bored hole. Once a bored pile design diameter and depth has been achieved steel reinforcing is lowered into the hole and the hole is filled with grout or concrete. The finished foundation element resists compressive, uplift and lateral loads. Bored piles are the most widely utilised foundation and have been utilised to support a myriad of construction projects from conventional buildings and towers to highways and bridges.

Steel Sheet Piling Contractors Melbourne

Steel Sheet Piles Melbourne

Steel sheet piles are long structural sections with a vertical interlocking system that creates a continuous wall. The walls are most often used to retain either soil or water. The ability of a sheet pile section to perform is dependent upon its geometry and the soils it is driven into. The pile transfers pressure from the high side of the wall to the soil in front of the wall.

There are permanent and temporary applications. Permanent sheet piles remain in the ground and serve as permanent retaining structures. Temporary sheet piles are designed to provide safe access for construction, and are then removed. Hot rolled and cold formed are two primary methods of manufacturing sheet pile. While there are differences between these two methods, the most important distinction is the interlock. Since hot rolled sheet piles are produced from steel at high temperatures, the interlock tends to be tighter than its cold formed counterpart. Normally, looser interlocks are not recommended in extremely hard driving conditions or for walls requiring low permeability. Otherwise, the two types of sections perform similarly in most applications.

CFA Piling Contractors Melbourne

CFA Piles Melbourne

CFA piles are formed by drilling a continuous flight auger into the ground. The sides of the hole are supported at all times by the soil-filled auger, eliminating the need for temporary casing or bentonite slurry. Once the auger reaches the required design depth a temporary plug which prevents soil from entering the hollow stem of the auger, has to be ejected. Slightly lifting the auger and injecting the concrete or cement grout down the hollow stem of the auger with enough pressure to eject the plug allows the concrete or grout to flow freely. In a concurrent process with the concrete being pumped in to the pile, the auger is steadily withdrawn until the auger is completely removed from the pile. Immediately after withdrawal of the auger a reinforcing cage is placed into the grouted column concluding the production of a CFA pile.

CFA piles are constructed by drilling into the ground with a continuous flight auger and simultaneously injecting concrete. This method is ideal for urban areas where noise and vibration must be minimized. Our CFA piling services ensure a fast and efficient installation process. The most common size cfa piles are 0.3, 0.45, 0.6, and 0.75 m diameter, with larger sizes by exception. They can be constructed to depths in excess of 30 meters. An important feature of present day CFA piles is the use of a reliable flow meter to monitor and record the whole process of construction of this type of pile. The items recorded are usually penetration / uplift per revolution, auger depth, concrete supply per increment of auger uplift during placing, and injection pressure at the auger head.
