Services

Piling Services

We install CFA and bored piles using specialist rigs, ensuring positional accuracy to AS2159 standards. Our compact equipment suits narrow sites, enabling close-to-boundary installations without disturbing neighbours. Steel reinforcement and concrete injection techniques guarantee structural integrity for foundations and retention systems.

Piled Retention Systems

Our retention systems include contiguous, soldier, secant, and diaphragm walls. These provide site safety during excavation while serving as integrated foundation elements. Solutions reduce project timelines and costs by combining shoring with structural support for basements near property boundaries.

Basement Construction

We deliver full basement construction with temporary/permanent propping and waterproofing. Services include bulk excavation, capping beams, and shotcrete walls. Our designs maximise site utilisation while protecting adjacent properties through precision-engineered retention solutions.

Design & Construct

In-house engineers provide end-to-end design and certification for foundations and retention systems. We offer alternative solutions that enhance value through cost savings, improved programming, or safety benefits, leveraging 20+ years of geotechnical and structural expertise.

Static Pile Testing

We conduct in-house static pile tests to verify load capacity and vertical displacement. This ensures compliance with design specifications and Australian standards, providing clients with data-driven assurance of foundation performance before project progression.

I had the pleasure of working with Rob, Blake and the team on a basement build in Brighton earlier this year and could not recommend them more highly. Not only did they deliver well ahead of schedule, I was extremely happy with the quality of their work. They are a highly professional team, responsive and forward- thinking. I look forward to working with them again in the future.
