Expanded Piling have been present on-site since early 2023, mobilising our first rig in September 2023 to undertake piling trials. We then mobilised an additional four rigs throughout the project, bringing the total to five rigs operating concurrently across both Littlemore House (LMH) and Littlemore Brook (LMB).
Our scope included:
- Installation of rotary bored secant wall piles (LMH & LMB)
- Installation of rotary bored bearing piles (LMH & LMB)
- Installation of a temporary sheet pile wall (LMB)
- Installation of CFA bearing piles (LMB)
- Six preliminary pile tests (3x tension, 3x compression)
- Two working pile tests
Across both LMH and LMB, we have successfully installed:
- •2,111 piles of varying diameters
- •39,100 linear meters of drilling depth
- •27,702 cubic meters of concrete delivered (4,170 wagons)
- •2,100 tonnes of rebar
We have achieved and exceeded the programme, putting the Structures team in a strong position for the follow-on works. They are making excellent progress with substructure works and are now firing in pre-cast elements - a rarity while a piling rig is still on-site!
