In 2013 Foundation Engineering Group was engaged to design the Screwpile foundation for a proposed two storey development in the heart of the Perth CBD.

The final project comprised of 41 piles with a safe working load range from 100 to 600Kn.

Foundation Engineering was also engaged to provide construction support.

The following challenges were successfully navigated during the project:

  • Restricted working spaces and access
  • Restricted work hours
  • Logistics for delivery of both materials and equipment through pedestrian areas
  • Variable ground conditions
  • Uncharted below ground objects
  • Installation of pile along site boundaries
  • Ensuring continuity of business for surrounding vendors
