Long Reach Piling Rig
This contractor is utilising an 11.5m piling auger attached to a 50 ton excavator to carry out piling works adjacent to the highway (from inside the building footprint).
This method of piling is usually used in civils and this piling contractor have never used it to Continuous Flight Auger (CFA) pile a building’s foundations.
By using the long reach, we were able to work from inside the building footprint meaning the highway could remain open ensuring local businesses and amenities were not affected.
If site circumstances are similar utilising this method will help prevent disruption to the local community.
