The right solution for you - service overviewWe offer a range of piling solutions for any type of earth or water retention challenge, whether temporary or permanent

structures. Our range of installation and extraction methods enable us to overcome a variety of challenges; from difficult

ground conditions to sites with limited access and environmentally sensitive locations.

The right solution for you – Sheet Piling

- Steel sheet piles of varying lengths can be sold, hired or

offered on sale and buy-back arrangement

- Made from recycled material, sheet piles are either Z or U

profile.

- We hold in excess of 3,000 tonnes of sheet piles in stock at

our Midlands based headquarters, allowing us to respond

quickly to any requirement.

- Piles are connected together to make a sealed wall and are

installed using one of two main methods:

o Vibration: piles are installed using a vibratory hammer

which can be rig mounted or crane suspended

o Pressing: piles can be pressed in without vibration or

noise. This method is favourable in noise or

environmentally sensitive areas and urban

conurbations.

- This method is frequently used in the construction of bridge

piers, cofferdams, jetties and retaining walls in tidal locations

and inland waterways

The right solution for you – King Post Wall

- An alternative solution to sheet piling, comprising

horizontal concrete or timber panels which are

inserted into pre-installed vertical beams

- This method is generally used where ground

conditions are too hard for sheet piling.

The right solution for you – Driven Piles

- Deep foundation elements driven to a design

depth or resistance. If penetration of dense soil

is required, pre-drilling may be required for the

pile to penetrate to the design depth. Types

include timber, pre-cast concrete, steel H-piles,

and recycled steel pipes

- This method is typically used where a cost

effective deep foundation solution is required

The right solution for you – Bored Piling

- A non-displacement form of foundation that is

cast in-situ and provides economical load

bearing and walling solutions suited to a wide

range of ground conditions and applications

- Usually bored pile is used for tall buildings or

massive industrial complexes, which require

foundations that can bear the load of

thousands of tonnes, most probably in

unstable or difficult soil conditions.

The right solution for you – Combi Wall

- Combi walls are reinforced sheet pile walls, a

combination of tubular piles and sheet piles.

Like sheet piles, tubular piles are fitted with

interlocks so that the elements can be attached

to each other. Tubular piles give the structure

strength and the intermediate sheet piles

create the watertight seal

- Generally used for deep excavation pits, tunnel

entrances, quay walls and car parks – their

robust structure can withstand greater loads

and are available at higher water retaining

heights

In-House Design Services

- In house team of qualified engineers producing

comprehensive design analyses using specialist

software

- We identify the most economical solution to

meet our clients specific requirements

Supercrush

Project: Heads of the Valleys A465, South Wales

Client: Costain

The Challenge: As part of a £220m scheme to widen the A465 into dual-carriageway, two lines of sheet piles were required to be installed into solid rock adjacent to a live carriageway.

The Solution: Utilising two Giken ECO700S Super Crush

machines, we have been able to pre-auger the ground to

accept 12m long PU32 sheet piles to level vibration free

through solid rock. An amazing feat and a landmark job for

Ivor King.
