Drilled Piling
Commonly used when obstructions are encountered underground or to penetrate dense or hard strata to form a pile or a rock socket, both the diameter and depth of the pile are dictated by the specific ground conditions, load/tension and nature of the scheme.
Van Elle's extensive experience of drilled piling coupled with our investment in the latest bespoke rigs, the training of our staff, continuous expansion of our service offering and innovation into new techniques gives our clients a distinct advantage over their competitors at tender stage and helps them to save costs and reduce the programme once on site.
Having undertaken, and successfully completed, some of the UK's largest and most challenging and high profile projects over the past 27 years, we have developed a sound understanding of the specific requirements of many of our clients ensuring that there are no programme delays and the schemes run efficiently and safely. Our in-house design team are highly qualified and experienced in designing for all types of piling and work quickly and proficiently to overcome any unforeseen issues should they arise.
Clients can be confident in placing their reputation in the hands of the largest independent geotechnical engineering contractor in the UK and the '2011 Ground Engineering Specialist of the Year'.
By utilising our vast range of rigs and techniques, we ensure our customers always receive the most cost effective, bespoke solution to meet their foundation and site requirements, assuring them of a professional, no-fuss service from pre-start to completion.
