Piling & Foundation Specialists

CFA Piles

Continuous Flight Auger (CFA) Piles are constructed by pumping concrete down a hollow stemmed auger and cast “in-place” to deliver a more efficient solution in weak ground conditions, including low vibration and minimal noise.

Micro Piles

Micro piling works are common where Geotech conditions or soil profiles are highly variable across a site and will support a range of loads and structures.

Rock Drilling

Core barrels are suited to deflecting layers or irregular surfaces and are designed to deal with hard rock or where reinforced concrete and masonry impede other methods.

Bored Piles

Bored piles are used for retaining walls, foundations, or capped piles. Bored piles are suited to deep excavations that adjoin other structures as well as tunnels, roads and bridges.

Bored Piers

Ideal for heavy horizontal and vertical loads, bored piers are commonly used if there is a range of load cases involved, such as uplift and tension to the lateral load.

Belling

Belling is deployed to increase pressure per square metre of end bearing piles, particularly for high rise structures and when faced with resistant or high traction ground conditions.

Permanent & Temporary Casing

Suited to unstable ground conditions or retention systems involving contiguous and secant piles. Temporary or permanent casing is also utilised during drilling.

Jet Grouting

Soil reinforcement method for controlling and reducing sediment underneath structures and for increasing load bearing capacity.

Soil Investigation

Soil investigations will determine settlement rates, the position of the water table, and bearing capacities across a project site.

Sheet Piles

Sheet piling provides temporary support for excavations of basement structures and are also common to specialist marine or riverbank protection works.

Soldier Piles

Soldier Piles are used to lower the ground level in front of the wall, with the height increased with ground anchors or propping.

Secant Piles & Contiguous Piles

Secant and Contiguous Piles are used to support loads for below ground structures such as deep CBD basement excavations up to site boundaries.

Soil Nails

Soil Nails are an efficient solution to accommodate tight and concurrent civil construction work programmes, particularly on congested CBD site footprints.

Ground Anchors

Ground anchors offset destabilising forces and are suitable for all soil types – either as a stand alone solution or as part of a engineered solution depending on site conditions.

Slope Stabilisation

Stabilising slopes can involve ground anchors and soil nails, as well as rock bolting, grouting, shotcreting, meshing and/or site dewatering.

Browns Piling has designed and deployed proprietary test hammers with a variable mass of 10-30 tonne. Testing is carried out as early (and often) as possible to ensure our design engineers and clients can adjust or refine pile construction techniques proactively. All Browns piling rigs are equipped with state-of-the-art Taralog computers and site operators send data from each pile for instantaneous review by our Geotech engineering team.

Browns Piling have the capability to support the development of commercial geothermal energy systems, as well as agri-businesses and sub surface water sources to sustain crops or livestock. We are also experienced in undertaking marine-based piling works, including bridges, pontoons, jetties or piers.
