Another couple of projects successfully completed by the DFE team this week.

First up, we took our Cobra D500 into the Welsh Valleys to install piles for a new footbridge serving a mausoleum. We installed 150mm diameter bottom driven steel cased piles through fill and loose sands before founding in dense sands at approximately 5.0m depth.

The team then returned to Narberth, South Wales, to complete the reinforced concrete slab on a project where we had previously installed 150mm diameter bottom driven piles using a Grundomat due to the restricted site access. Again, the piles were driven to approximately 5.0m, founding on siltstone.

Both the piled foundations and reinforced concrete slab were designed in house by our Chartered Civil Engineer and company owner, allowing us to provide the complete foundation package from design through to construction.

Next week, the Cobra gets a well earned rest as we bring the KLEMM 709 back out for a run of SFA piling in the Midlands, while the Kitten rig gets prepared for another ODEX project in the Lake District - Soon be Christmas!

It’s been a bottom driven kind of couple of weeks for the DFE team.

Across three projects, we’ve been driving 150mm, 168mm and 220mm diameter steel cased piles to depths of up to 8.0m.

We’ve also put the latest addition to our fleet, the Cobra D500, through its paces alongside our 6 inch Grundomat, installing over 600 linear metres of pile in total.

Next week sees us head onto another bottom driven project before returning to a couple of our previously piled sites to complete the reinforced concrete ground beams and slabs.

At Dawson Foundation Engineering, we design and install SFA, CFA, bottom driven steel cased, ODEX and screw piles, as well as designing and constructing ground beams, slabs and pile caps.

If you have a project coming up, get in touch or visit our website for more information.

A productive week for the DFE team.

While one crew enjoyed the sunshine on the Costa del Swansea, installing 25 No. 300mm diameter hollow stem SFA piles with a Klemm 702, another spent the week carefully completing the piled ground beams at a 16th century Grade II listed manor house in Fauld.

We capped the week off with the addition of a Cobra D500 to the DFE fleet. After some TLC in the yard, it’ll be loaded up and sent out to start the first of a series of bottom driven piling projects next week.

Whilst I’ve been grounded and confined to the house on dad duties, the DFE team have been delivering projects across the country.

π’πœπ¨π­π₯𝐚𝐧𝐝
The team installed 450mm diameter piles with 508mm temporary casing. The piles were cased to 8.0m through soft alluvial deposits before being bored to a final depth of 11.0m founding into dense gravels. A full-length reinforcement cage was then plunged into the concrete before the casing was withdrawn.

As case and auger piling isn’t a technique we undertake regularly, I asked the operatives to take plenty of photos in my absence. Such is the quality and detail of the two images they returned with, i could have sworn i was actually there afterall. 😐

The team also completed the installation of 4 No. 273mm diameter bottom-driven steel-cased piles using a D1000 piling rig in restricted access conditions for a new machine base within a live paper mill. The piles were driven to a depth of 6.0m and included reinforcement cages to resist significant shear forces.

The works were completed within two days, although the majority of that time was spent getting into and out of the piling area

A week to remember at DFE.

We installed 88 No. 300mm diameter SFA bored piles at JCB Golf and country club in Uttoxeter to a depth of 6.5m. The piles were designed in house by our chartered engineer to support a range of compressive, tensile and shear actions.

Its not very often we see working platforms this good, not exactly the green but far from being in the rough. (Not AI - that's all me)

It was a mad dash to get the works completed and despite the best efforts of the concrete supplier, I made it home in time to welcome my daughter into the world!

Certainly had worse weeks!

Much to the delight of Rachel Reeves and diesel suppliers across the land, our Klemm 709 has been flat out this last month or so, completing just shy of 3,000 linear metres of pile across projects in Liverpool, Surrey, Stoke and Birmingham.

We have also managed to squeeze in 34 No. piles with our Kitten rig and a domestic project installing 150mm diameter bottom driven piles and ground beams.

Make hay while the diesel lasts....
