Type of Project
The installation of Techno Metal Post helical piles as part of a complete groundworks package for two residential extensions in Oxfordshire. One of the extensions was constructed over an existing culvert using concrete-encased steel beams supported by helical piles.
Location
Marsh Baldon, Oxfordshire, OX44 (United Kingdom)
Challenges
- Limited site access requiring adapted installation methods and equipment.
- Construction of one extension spanning an existing culvert, requiring a robust and reliable foundation solution.
Solutions
- Installation of 8 Techno Metal Post helical piles to a depth of 2.6 metres using an EM1 installation machine.
- Efficient project management allowing all works to be completed despite the site's restricted access.
Results / Conclusion
The foundations were successfully completed in less than two weeks, providing the client with foundations ready for the next phase of construction.
The Techno Metal Post helical pile solution delivered a strong, reliable and durable foundation for both extensions, including the section spanning the culvert. By providing the entire foundations package, TMP Oxford delivered a turnkey solution, allowing the bricklayer to begin work immediately.
