Piling
Falcon utilises a wide range of piling plant and equipment suitable to construct economic foundation solutions in the majority of ground conditions.
Augered Mini Piles
Falcon’s mini rigs are able to construct augered piles from 150mm to 300mm diameter up to depths of 14m, dependent upon soil conditions. The rigs can be driven through a normal domestic door opening and can operate in headroom as low as 2.2m.
Falcon ensures that all Piling Plant used is fitted with trip wires and safety equipment complying with current safety regulations. Operatives receive health & safety and vocational training, to ensure that work is carried out to the highest standards without causing undue risk to themselves and the public. Falcon assisted with drawing up the ASUC Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Underpinning and Mini Piling Operations to which we adhere closely.

Driven Mini Piles
Falcon operates track mounted drop hammer rigs to construct bottom driven steel cased piles up to 400mm in diameter. Piles are driven to a pre-calculated set which is determined by the applied load.

Large Diameter Piles
Large Diameter Piling Auger Rig
Where piling schemes dictate that larger diameter piles are required we employ machines which have the capability of constructing piles up to 600mm in diameter to a depth of 25m.
The size and type of machine selected will depend on the nature of the site, prevailing ground conditions, pile loads and number of piles required.
