The access to and within the site was extremely restricted so we selected a CZM EM600 compact CFA piling rig to carry out the works. This CFA piling rig was initially used to bore the holes required for the kingposts to be installed to create the retaining wall, and then moved onto install 450 mm diameter CFA foundation piles to 8 m depth throughout the site as required. read more...

Recently soil mixing provided a successful solution to British Waterways at the Shropshire Union Canal in Shebdon on the Staffordshire - Shropshire border. The canal had been leaking for many years and even with the introduction of sheet piles on both sides, the water was not able to be stopped from dissipating through the canal bed and out the sides of the embankment. Eco Foundations were able to respond immediately to the emergency situation utilising it's mass soil mixing rig to solidify the base of the canal into a clay-like substance utilising a cement - bentonite binder. read more...

| Retaining Walls utilising Soil Mixing, Conventional and Silent Piling Techniques |
Eco provides the complete one stop solution for basement and foundations construction, with design, supply and installation expertise being available to deliver the best and most efficient methods of working. Our favoured method is to utilise soil mixing systems as this is the most economical and eco-friendly, however with the various retaining wall systems and methods of installation available to Eco, we can provide basement walls and foundations in any type of ground that is encountered. Other methods of retaining wall construction include sheet piling, king post walls and hard/hard secant piling.
It is always best practice to have a competent geotechnical report carried out prior to the design stage and this not only provides information for the design but also highlights the best method of construction that is available to suit the specific ground conditions.  
|
| We are always ready to discuss your project and offer ways that our expertise and technology can be of benefit and provide cost savings if involved at an early stage of planning and design. | |

Eco Foundations recently completed a contract for Dawnus Construction to install approximately 1000 VCC piles of 350 mm diameter to a depth of 9 m for a new recycling centre in Rhyl, North Wales.
The piles were installed using an RTG RG19T telescopic leader rig with 125 tons resonance free variable moment vibrator. The highly powerful rig was able to obtain outputs of in excess of 80 piles per day resulting in a very competitively priced project when compared to driven cast in situ or CFA piling. read more...
