Project experience from company website

Driven Precast Piling

Driven Precast Piling

Driven precast piles are a proven solution to form deep foundations for residential properties, commercial buildings, industrial structures, and other infrastructure. They displace soil, eliminating spoil removal and reducing road traffic. The variety of section sizes allows for optimum selection for the structure and its load cases.

Driven Steel Tube Piling

Driven Steel Tube Piling

Steel tubes are commonly used where stiff or dense ground conditions are present or where obstructions are likely. Tube diameters range from 140mm to 900mm and can be installed as single pile support for legs of electricity pylons. They can be driven closed end for later ground loop installation for ground source heat energy requirements.

Ground Beams

Ground Beams

Akela Ground Engineering offer pile and ground beam packages which are commonly used for residential and commercial buildings. They design the ground beam solution to suit each specific project, including the selection of the most economical materials such as in-situ concrete and/or precast solutions, paired with precast concrete or steel tubular piles.
