Prepare for a successful project with Great Northern Bridgeworks’ pile foundation solutions. Our piling installation services provide durable and efficient foundation support for a wide range of applications, including infrastructure projects, oil and gas facilities, industrial and commercial sites, waterfront developments, and challenging terrains. We use cutting-edge technology and industry best practices to ensure precise, reliable, and long-lasting results.
Our team has extensive experience in pile installation across various environments, from urban developments to remote, sensitive, and congested locations. We employ state-of-the-art equipment, including tracked, truck-mounted, barge-mounted, and crane-mounted pile driving units, to complete each project efficiently and safely. Our commitment to quality, safety, and client satisfaction ensures that every foundation we build meets industry standards, design criteria and project objectives.
Driven piles are a fundamental solution for providing strong, deep foundation support, particularly in areas with soft, loose, or unstable soil conditions. These piles are driven into the ground using hydraulic or diesel hammers, achieving excellent load-bearing capacity. We offer both open-end and closed-end steel piles, each suited to specific ground conditions and load requirements.
Open-end steel piles are commonly used when soil or rock needs to be removed from the pile during installation, while closed-end piles are better for driving through cohesive soils. Driven piles are ideal for applications where robust support and longevity are crucial.
Applications: Bridge foundations, industrial buildings, highway infrastructure, marine environments, retaining structures.
Benefits: High load capacity, suitability for deep foundations, resistance to settlement, durable in various ground conditions.
Screw piles are versatile, cost-effective, and efficient, offering rapid installation with minimal environmental impact. These helical piles are rotated into the ground, providing immediate load-bearing capacity. Screw piles are ideal for sites requiring minimal disruption, including environmentally sensitive areas and locations with poor soil conditions.
Our screw piles come in various diameters and lengths to accommodate different soil types, structural, and load bearing requirements. They are perfect for both temporary and permanent installations and can be quickly removed or relocated if necessary.
Applications: Oil and Gas facilities, pipeline risers, powerline foundations and guidewire anchors, Light commercial and modular structures, renewable energy projects, foundation stabilization.
Benefits: Quick installation, reduced site disturbance, immediate load capacity, reusable and removable.
Sheet piles are an essential component in earth retention and soil stabilization projects. These interlocking steel sheets are driven into the ground to create a continuous wall, providing lateral support and preventing soil and water movement. Sheet piles are particularly useful in waterfront applications, excavation support, and retaining wall construction.
Our installation process ensures that sheet piles are driven to the correct depth with precision, maintaining structural integrity and environmental safety. We also provide customized sheet piling solutions to meet the specific demands of industrial, urban, and marine projects.
Applications: Retaining walls, waterfront structures, excavation support, erosion control, flood protection.
Benefits: High lateral load capacity, resistance to water infiltration, durability in harsh conditions, suitable for confined spaces.
Battered piles are designed to withstand lateral forces, driven at an angle rather than vertically. This angled installation provides additional stability, making them ideal for structures exposed to horizontal loads, such as Utility and transmission line foundations, waterfront developments, bridge abutments, and sloped terrain foundations.
Our battered pile installation services utilize precise angling techniques to ensure optimal stability and load distribution. These piles are essential for projects requiring enhanced resistance to dynamic and lateral pressures.
Applications: Utilities and Powerlines, Marine structures, bridge abutments, sloped terrain, dynamic load areas, coastal developments.
Benefits: Enhanced stability, resistance to lateral forces, ideal for sloping ground conditions, increased load-bearing efficiency.
H-piles are structural steel beams driven into the ground to provide support for deep foundations and dense soil conditions. Their H-shaped cross-section allows for efficient penetration and load distribution, making them ideal for heavy construction applications.
We use advanced pile driving techniques to install H-piles accurately, ensuring they reach the required depth for optimal support. These piles are often used in combination with concrete caps to form a composite foundation system.
Applications: Deep foundations, bridge supports, heavy industrial applications, load-bearing structures, retaining walls.
Benefits: High structural capacity, effective in dense soils, long-lasting stability, adaptable to various foundation configurations.
Timber piles offer a sustainable and cost-effective foundation solution, especially in areas where lighter load-bearing capacity is sufficient. These piles are typically used in waterfront developments, boardwalks, pedestrian bridges, and eco-friendly projects.
We source high-quality timber and employ careful installation techniques to ensure durability and structural integrity. Timber piles are treated to withstand environmental factors, making them reliable for both temporary and permanent applications.
Applications: Boardwalks, pedestrian bridges, light structures, nature reserves, marine installations.
Benefits: Natural aesthetic, renewable resource, cost-effective for light applications, easy to install and maintain.
