King post retaining wall and CFA foundation piles installed in courtyard of building in London as part of extension works for a listed building. 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...

Flood Barrier Walls
Flood barrier retaining walls may be installed utilising wet soil mixing techniques in earth leveés or embankments alongside rivers. Suitable for all types of flood defence or flood alleviation schemes both our triple auger and single auger leader rig systems mix in situ cement or cement - bentonite slurry with the existing soils to form a cut off wall within the embankment. When the river bursts it's banks or the flood occurs the soil mixed cut off wall helps to contain the water where the existing soil may have eroded by the increased water flow.
Sheet piling can also be used as flood barrier retaining walls for flood defence. Installation can be with traditional percussive methods or by silent vibrationless systems where the environment dictates. All of our leader rigs are fitted with biodegradable oil to protect the environment.
