Piling and foundations

A state-of-the-art Junttan pile rig from Finland drives precast piles up to 17 metres and features a rotary side augur unit for pre-drilling.

We also own and operate a Banut hydraulic piling rig with a six tonne hammer, which is suited to production piling on building sites and driving larger capacity piles for other projects.

Our 2 x Volvo 30 tonne excavator mounted piling rigs, with a variable hammer weight of two to four tonnes, can be used on difficult sites where conventional pile rigs are unable to operate. They have proven invaluable on numerous projects around Australia and, importantly, their versatility provides easy conversion to cranes and excavators for site preparation and cleanup.

All machines are capable of driving timber, steel and concrete piles up to 12 metres and the Banut can drive steel tube piles up to 610 diameter. In all cases, pile splices can be used to enable the driving of longer piles where required.

A pile design service is offered (including pile splices) and pile capacity testing can also be organised.
