If you require mini piling or underpinning then send us whatever plans you have and we will get back to you with a quote usually within the day. If you want it urgently, give us a ring, We can pile in restricted access sites like back gardens with narrow openings or inside buildings.
We pile for a number of reasons, with the biggest reasons around Workington being trees/drains nearby or backfill present and good ground being too costly to dig to. Working alongside structural engineers and building control, we install piled foundation to the correct specification ensuring your building has the support it needs. We can either provide a structural engineers design or work to one you already have. If you want want any information beforehand, I am always happy to have an informal conversation, either by phone or whatsapp/message/email.
Piled foundation in Workington
On this job the piles have been knocked in, the steel reinforcement installed and the shuttering put in place. There are 2 different heights of this beam, the section going under the drain is lower than the other side. We do this to save you digging out to the lower level everywhere. Sometimes a service can go through the beam, sometimes the beam has to go under the service, but dependent on your circumstances we will come up with the best solution. Here the job is ready for the building inspector to check.

After building control have inspected the piles and reinforcement we can concrete. As the concrete is poured into the trench, either by wheel barrow, or occasionally a pump, it is vibrating using a vibrating poker. This helps to make sure the piles are completely filled with concrete as well as releasing any trapped air inside. We then level the concrete with the help of a laser to get a nice surface for your bricklayer to start building on.
