What we do.
From OLE masts on the railway to foundations to extend your growing home, we have the right team for you. With our knowledge and design service, all schemes can be looked at in depth and value engineered for any proposed piling requirements.
We pride ourselves in the collaborative relationships we build and maintain with our clients. Our open and honest approach means total confidence in the service we provide and the foundations we install.
Movax Side-Grip vibro is a very productive excavator/RRV mounted pile driver and extractor. The same unit can handle, pitch and drive the sheet piles to a very accurate level including rakes. It is capable to accomplish the whole pile driving process without need of manual handling of the piles or assisting machinery. That mean no cranes, forklifts, framework and less labour. Giving you a dependable service at a very low cost.
The Side-Grip combined with the excavator/RRV is an effective solution for pile driving on most sites from open areas to confined spaces or limited headroom. An advanced Auto control system makes the operating accurate and easier, it is the safest and fastest method of piling
We offer 150mm to 300mm steel cased driven piles which are displacement piles typically used in poor ground where the piles are used for end bearing in a dense strata at depth. This is not vibration free and care should be taken when works are carried out either within or adjacent to existing structures. (Low frequency, high impact)
This method uses sectional flight auger sections at varying diameters 200mm to 600mm to form piles to the design founding levels through dry/self – supporting cohesive substrata.
Fortis caters for restricted access, low headroom sites that require mini piling. Our mini rigs can work in as little as 2.0m of headroom and fit through a standard door way. We have a variety of systems and diameters to cater for different ground conditions / structural loads and site constraints.
Fortis cater for a range of retaining wall options – from contiguous and secant retaining walls, installed using the continuous flight augured method; or King Post retaining walls which can be installed by driven or CFA piling techniques.
