GEOTHERMAL PILING
The temperature differential between the ground and soil provides a means of heating or cooling buildings during the winter and summer months respectively.
Due to the thermal conductivity of concrete the energy can be transferred through plastic pipe loops fixed to steel reinforcement cages within CFA, rotary or driven piles. Central Piling has experience of working closely with consultants and clients to ensure a problem free integration of the geothermal pipework into the structure.
ROTARY PILING
Rotary rigs create the pile bore by removing the soil in sections, approximately a metre deep, until the design depth has been reached. At this stage full depth reinforcement cages, steel sections or permanent casings can be easily installed prior to the placement of concrete.
MINI PILING
Central Piling has a variety of bored and driven piling rigs suitable for house extensions, basement construction and restricted access sites.
FURTHER TECHNIQUES
In addition to the piling works, we offer a variety of other products like anchors, grouting, piling platform installation and maintenance, ground beam and slab construction, aswell as spoil removal and pile trimming.
DRIVEN PILING
Driven piles are installed by dropping a hammer weight on a pre-formed pile. When the pile moves a predetermined distance for a given hammer drop height, the pile capacity has been achieved.
RETAINING WALLS
We offer a variety of bored pile retaining walls when provision for temporary and permanent support for basement excavations is required.
CFA PILING
CFA piling is a particularly economical choice of piled foundation in sands, gravels and low grade rock as this process requires no casings or drilling fluids.
