Our Piling Process in London

Firstly, a member of our team will review any plans or designs that you have and arrange a site survey to discuss your requirements in more detail if required. We will prepare a quote after evaluating your project requirements. Once you assign us the project, we will set a date with you to commence the piled foundation. We do require a week’s notice before any work starts. Our project manager will ensure all work is undertaken safely on-site with minimal disruption. If required, we can also give an estimate for the full foundation design and installation so you can build off what we provide. If you hired us for the full foundation work, we would arrange to meet your local building control at the site for inspection. Once the local authority is content with the work, we will pour the concrete and finish at a suitable level for your brickwork to be laid. Our team will begin cleaning up for the construction work to start, only once the concrete has dried. Contact us with any questions you have.

What are the advantages of using Piled Foundations? 

Deep foundations known as piled foundations offer benefits in the field of construction and structural engineering. Lets take a look, at some advantages;

1. Strong Support for Heavy Loads; Piles are specifically designed to bear loads making them an excellent choice for providing support to large scale structures such as skyscrapers, bridges and industrial facilities

.2. Suitable for Challenging Soil Conditions; In areas where the soil quality's less than ideal or the surface soil lacks the strength for conventional foundations piles can effectively transfer the load to deeper and more stable layers of soil.

3. Minimized Settlement Issues; Piled foundations play a role in reducing settlement concerns, which's particularly important for structures where even slight settling could lead to significant structural problems

4. Versatility in Design and Material Choice; Piles can be constructed using materials like timber, steel or concrete. They can be installed into the ground using different methods. This adaptability allows them to cater to a range of projects and environmental conditions.

5. Minimal Disturbance on Site; Compared to foundation techniques piling requires less extensive excavation work. As a result this reduces site disturbance while also speeding up construction timelines.

6. Enhanced Stability in Seismic Areas; In regions to earthquakes piled foundations offer stability due to their deep penetration, into the ground.

7. Waterfront Construction; They are especially beneficial, for construction projects near bodies of water like building piers and docks. Piles can be driven into the seabed to provide a foundation.

8. Durability; Modern piles are designed to withstand corrosion, decay and other forms of wear and tear ensuring that they have a lifespan as a foundation

9.Installation in Confined Spaces Made Easy; Piled foundations can often be installed in areas with access or small spaces where other types of foundations might not be practical.

10. Even Load Distribution; Piles evenly distribute the weight of structures across the foundation minimizing the risk of settling and potential structural damage.

Every construction project is unique so the decision to use piled foundations depends on factors such, as soil properties, load requirements, environmental conditions, and economic considerations.

FAQs on Piling

Here are some of the frequently asked questions about Piling:

How long will the work take?

The installation of piles and foundations on a typical house extension in London can take between 2-3 days. Top drive rigs can install 10-20 piles a day depending on the depth driven whereas drop weight rigs can install 5-10 piles a day.

What size trenches are needed to be dug out? 

We believe the size of the trench depends on the size of the ground beam to be installed at your site. A typical ground beam to an extension of excavation of 600mm deep and 450mm wide will be apt. Please contact our team for more information.

Is a site visit required?

Yes, we will require a site visit before quoting or commencing any work.

Can you arrange for pile calculations and design for submission to the local authority in London?

We can have our in-house engineer draw up structural drawings for the piling work. We will submit these to the relevant local authority before commencing the work. 

Can you arrange visits by the building inspector?

Yes, we can arrange for the local building inspector to visit and inspect the work before pouring the concrete.

We request that the builder/contractor set the piles out. The main reason for this is that the pile location is directly related to the lines of the building. These details are known by the builder/contractor.
