Industries & Applications

The work our equipment is bought to do

Contractors do not buy a hammer, they buy a wall held open, a slope held in place, a pile that carries load. Here is the work our four lines are put to, and which lines do it.

Deep Foundations

Driven and bored piles that carry the structure down to competent ground, the core of most of what we supply.

  • Driven H-pile, pipe pile and sheet
  • Bored and CFA piling
  • Load and integrity testing
Pile DrivingDrillingGeotechnical Testing

Earth Retention & Excavation Support

Walls that hold the excavation open, sheet pile, soldier pile and cut-off systems installed and extracted.

  • Sheet pile and cofferdams
  • Soldier pile and lagging
  • Secant and cut-off walls

Ground Improvement

Turning weak ground into ground you can build on, deep soil mixing and jet grouting with auditable QA.

  • Deep soil mixing (DSM)
  • Jet grouting
  • Verification and QA logging

Marine & Waterfront

Docks, bulkheads and moorings where access is tidal and the tolerances are unforgiving.

  • Bulkheads and sea walls
  • Dock and pier piling
  • Crane-suspended driving
Pile DrivingDrilling

Anchoring & Slope Stabilisation

Holding slopes, walls and structures in place with anchors, micropiles and soil nailing.

  • Tiebacks and ground anchors
  • Micropiles and soil nails
  • Proof and performance testing

Site Investigation & QA

Knowing the ground before you commit to it, and proving the piles once they are in.

  • Cone penetration testing (CPT)
  • Pile integrity and continuity
  • Instrumentation and monitoring
Geotechnical TestingDrilling

Infrastructure & Heavy Civil

Bridges, transport and energy work where the foundation package is on the critical path.

  • Bridge and roadway substructure
  • Energy and industrial foundations
  • Large-diameter shafts

Renewables & Solar

High-volume, repeatable pile installation for solar arrays and renewable-energy sites.

  • Solar pile driving at volume
  • Pre-drilling in hard ground
  • Pull-test verification

One partner across every stage of the foundation

From site investigation to driven pile to ground improvement - the equipment and the data come from the same source, and the support comes from Tampa.
