Client: Abbey Pynford handling for client

Purpose: Underpin corner of house to sewer leaking creating running sands

Ground Conditions: Running sands clay

Pile Type: 76r

Depth: 7m

Quantity: 7

Additional Work: Install underpin brackets

Location: Bedfordshire

Completed: March 2016

This project suited screwpiles due to its minimal disruption.

We only needed to achieve access to the underside of the footing by 350mm in a small pocket local to the pile.

As the pile is loaded by the use of an 8ton jack this eliminates movement immediately.

This low vibration, low noise, fast system proved a success.

The pile installation took 2 days and was ready to backfill and pave.
