Foundation Piling Solutions Tailored to Your Project: The Pilecraft Advantage
When it comes to constructing any building or infrastructure, the strength of the foundation determines the integrity and longevity of the entire structure.
At Pilecraft, we specialise in delivering exceptional foundation piling services that ensure solid, reliable groundwork for projects of all sizes and scopes.
With decades of industry experience and a proven track record across residential, commercial, and industrial sectors, we pride ourselves on being a trusted partner for robust and cost-effective piling solutions across the UK.
What is Foundation Piling?
Foundation piling is the process of driving or drilling piles into the ground to provide structural support for buildings or other structures. These piles transfer loads from the structure above to deeper, more stable soil or rock strata below. It’s a critical method in areas where the surface soils cannot support the weight of a building.
Whether you're dealing with soft ground, poor load-bearing soils, or restricted site access, our range of piling techniques ensures your project begins on a solid footing.
Comprehensive Piling Services to Suit Every Site
At Pilecraft, we understand that every construction site is unique. That’s why we offer a full spectrum of foundation piling services, each designed to meet specific ground conditions, structural requirements, and environmental constraints.
Mini Piling
Mini piling is one of our most sought-after services, ideal for sites with limited access or restricted headroom. This method is particularly suited to underpinning existing structures, extensions, and projects in urban areas. Despite the smaller equipment used, mini piling is highly effective in supporting significant loads and provides a fast, efficient, and minimally disruptive solution.
CFA (Continuous Flight Auger) Piling
For sites where vibration and noise must be kept to a minimum, such as near existing buildings or in residential areas, CFA piling is an excellent option. This technique allows for deep piles to be formed with reduced disturbance to the surrounding environment. Our modern CFA rigs and skilled operators ensure precision installation for maximum structural integrity.
Driven Piles
Driven piles are a preferred method where the ground conditions allow for displacement piling. This technique is fast and economical, offering strong resistance and excellent bearing capacity. At Pilecraft, we supply and install pre-cast concrete or steel driven piles using industry-leading equipment that ensures minimal settlement and long-term performance.
Expert Advice and Site Investigation
Before we begin any piling work, we conduct thorough site investigations and geotechnical analysis to determine the most suitable method for your project.
Our expert engineers collaborate closely with clients, architects, and contractors to design a cost-effective and structurally sound solution tailored to the site’s specific needs.
Our end-to-end service includes:
- Soil and ground condition assessment
- Pile design calculations and structural engineering
- Health and safety compliance
- Method statements and risk assessments
- Full installation, testing, and certification
