Low headroom piling in Castle Hill

By May 13, 2014Case Studies

We have recently completed low headroom piling for Lend Lease at Castle Towers shopping centre in Castle Hill.

As part of the upgrading of the carpark works, in preparation for expansion of the Shopping Centre, Access Piering was engaged to construct low headroom piles that would create a tunnel in the existing carpark to create a better traffic flow in the carpark.

Access Piering expertise was called on for each stage of the project with the initial discussions with Lend Lease taking place 12 months before we were on site.

We squeezed our rig into this very tight spot to create piles that would take the high structural loads required.

Not only was the location where we installed the piles a difficult location, but we had to work our way to the location of the piles.

Here we can see the Access Piering low headroom piling rig set up to work in and around existing fire water sprinkler system. By working with our unique drill rigs and experienced crew, the carpark could continue to operate while we installed the piles.
