Mini Piling Doncaster | Piling Doncaster

Commercial Mini Piling Doncaster

When it comes to mini piling Doncaster based companies can offer you a wide range of products and services. Whether it is bored piles, CFA piling, pre-cast concrete segmental piles, or even a pre-cast wall block system we can deliver.

The mainstay of foundations work is laying out piles (also known as heaving) to secure and reinforce the ground underneath a construction. This can be done by using either friction piles or end-bearing piles.

One of the more innovative solutions is the use of mini piles. These are smaller versions of full sized piles and are designed to be installed in difficult or restricted sites.

These can be used to build support walls and re-work existing structures. They are also a good choice for underpinning – the process of adding more material beneath an existing foundation to strengthen and support it.

The company also has the capability to install pre-cast concrete segmental piles which are a faster and more cost effective solution than heaving. These are fitted with a 25 ton driven rig complete with 2 ton hammer and can handle loads of up to 600Kn.

As a local firm, we are well placed to understand the challenges and provide solutions that work best for you. Regardless of the size of your project, we’ll be happy to discuss the right pile for the job and will always deliver within time and budget.

We are proud to be associated with some of the country’s leading contractors, architects and engineers who trust us to deliver the right piling solution for their projects, big or small. So get in touch with our team today to find out more about our product and service offerings.

Residential Mini Piling Doncaster

Mini piling is an excellent way to secure foundations, particularly for residential buildings. Unlike larger, more traditional piling methods, it requires less equipment and is often easier to install in tight spaces. It also produces lower levels of vibrations and noise, making it an ideal solution for existing buildings and locations with environmental sensitivity.

The construction sector is under pressure to improve its sustainability and green credentials, which is why many building firms are now looking for ways to reduce their carbon footprints. This includes the development of low-energy buildings, which is one of the five points in the European Commission’s plans to “unleash the potential of the low-energy building”.

Across the region, a renewed focus on sustainable living is expected to spur the growth of companies with specialist expertise in bringing old buildings up to modern standards. This is particularly true in regions where the number of people moving away from urban areas has increased.

This has a direct impact on the availability of housing, with some sites unable to be developed due to planning constraints. Mini piling is a great option for expanding homes in restricted areas, helping to make the most of small plots and minimising the negative impact on the environment.

It is also a cost-effective alternative to traditional ground engineering, meaning that even in the most challenging of circumstances it can be used to secure projects and extend residential developments. In addition, it is easy to transport and work with, which makes it a useful tool for contractors working on difficult site conditions or for home builders who need to get their project completed within limited timeframes.

Another benefit of using mini pile is that it can be used to underpin existing structures, particularly in areas with subsidence or heave problems. This is especially effective for houses in rural areas where it can be a viable option to reinforce the foundations of older buildings.

There are a range of different types of mini piling, each of which has its own advantages and disadvantages. Choosing the right type for your project can be difficult, however our experts can advise you on the best method of installation based on the ground conditions and your specific requirements. We will also provide a free estimate of the costs and likely timescales for your project.

Specialists in Heaving

Heaving is a common problem with building foundations, particularly new houses and extensions. This is due to the ground beneath a structure swelling upwards and often occurs after an old tree has been removed or when the soil is exposed to too much water during a storm.

Heaved areas need to be secured and reinforced in order for a home or building to stand the test of time. A specialist solution in this case is mini piling and Vxcel Foundations can provide a range of services to ensure that your project is firmly set on firm footings.

Using a smaller rig, a mini pile rig can access tight spaces where larger construction vehicles would struggle to get into. It is a great option for projects such as house extensions and conservatory builds in residential areas.

Our specialist teams can design and install a range of mini piling solutions to suit your needs, saving you money and time. These include steel cased bottom driven mini displacement piles which are designed to be more resilient and have less vibration than traditional footings.

These are ideal for projects with limited headroom and restricted site access and can be installed in diameters of 75mm, 100mm, 150mm and 165mm. The ground is then connected to the pile by a reinforced concrete ground beam on top.

We also offer a range of additional services to add value to your construction project. These include setting out, foundation design packages and pile testing services including dynamic load tests and integrity tests.

This helps to ensure that you are building a safe and secure base for your project, and it can also save you money in the long run by preventing damage to underground infrastructure. We can also design a system to suit your specific requirements, so you are sure that the foundations we create will last the test of time.

The team at Vxcel Foundations is always on hand to discuss your needs, and help you find the perfect solution for your building project. We have the experience, knowledge and expertise to ensure that your foundations are secure and will remain so for a lifetime.
