We will either provide you with a structural engineers design or work to one you provide. Whether you are in the Lake District, up north in Carlisle or on the west coast in Workington, all locations are covered.

Mini Piling Contractor in Cumbria

Piling Cumbria – This job in Ulverston was for a single storey extension on the side of a very old house. Here the client came to us with a design from his own structural engineer. The piles didn’t go deep and hit bed rock so the set was down to zero. Next the job was shuttered, with the beam being above ground on the road side, as the builder was going to face this in a stone cladding. We piled this using a Grundomat mole (not the mole in the pic) which is good for bad access which this was, with it being on a higher level than the ground at the front.

In this picture we have just poured, vibrated and levelled the concrete. The vibrating takes excess air out of the concrete so it achieves the strength it is meant to be. It also aids in ensuring the piles are full of concrete as they can look full when they aren’t. We use the laser level to get the concrete flat and level so you can’t be too far out. This hopefully gives your bricklayer one less thing to moan about.
