During December 2005 we were asked to provide a solution to a problem at a house in Chorlton, Manchester. The property was being refurbished but had suffered a degree of movement in most of it's walls.
Difficult access for bottom driven piles
Centurion Point, Chester
In July 2006 we were asked to install 16no. 220mm piles at Centurion Point, Chester. The piles were required to support a cantilever slab and as a result 8no. piles had to be driven to achieve a compressional SWL of 240kN and the others 105kN in tension.
