To meet the needs of our clients, Expanded Piling are proud to offer a range of techniques depending on the ground and application
Through our partnership with Select Plant Hire these techniques can be offered from within our current rig fleet.
In addition to Displacment & Soil mixing (Deep & Shallow), we successfully installed Vibro Cast In-Situ (VCIS) piles for a project in the Water Industry.
This technique is a displacement piling method where the ground gets consolidated and a pile is formed.
With this technique it can either be reinforced or left unreinforced depending on its application and the foundation solution it forms.
Expanded Piling have multiple rigs capable of this technique and can offer it with the option of a flared head to integrate it into the substructure.
This type of ground improvement involves the formation of columns to provide improved bearing capacity in ground conditions which are weak or not able to support the activities at ground level.
This technique is undertaken using Piling rigs and specialist mixing heads to ensure that the grout mixture mixes uni-formally with the ground to form homogenous columns.
Where the ground has particularly low strength properties, it might be an option to undertake shallow soil mixing with an allu attachment & excavator to improve the soil.
Expanded Piling have undertaken this at scale and remain able to provide this service.
