Combine strategic vision and technical mastery on each project
Before the project was shut down, we installed over 120 driven piles and 135 bored piles, reaching depths of over 100 ft. Some piles were driven in complex conditions, requiring the use of a mini-drill due to the lack of overhead clearance inside the existing building. Of the bored piles, 50 had to be driven in these confined spaces with specialized equipment. In addition, to reach the required depths, several piles required successive extensions.
A job done according to the rules of the art
The installations included 120 driven piles of 10.75 inches in diameter, as well as approximately 135 bored piles of the same diameter, some of which required execution adapted to the constraints of the site.
Thanks to our expertise in bored and driven piles, we met the technical challenges of this project before its interruption, ensuring precise execution in accordance with the requirements of the industrial site.
