HEAVY FOUNDATIONS PTY LTDPiled retaining walls and temporary support for basement construction.
Our work includes contiguous pile walls, sheet piling and staged retaining wall packages. Each method and construction sequence is considered in the context of the engineer’s design and the site.
Foundation piles and shoring within a retained structure.
Existing slabs and services restricted access. Old concrete and brick footings complicated drilling.
Worked with Hunter Group’s site team and tight-access equipment to install foundation piles, contiguous wall piles and sheet piling.

A staged retaining wall package on a site under 6 m wide.
A site less than 6 m wide, steep ground, shallow neighbouring foundations and hard rock constrained access and construction.
Sequenced the walls and foundation piles, coordinated excavator positions, used a masted rig where access allowed and formed a ramp for the lowest stage.

Foundation piles, basement walls, temporary propping and excavation.
A beachfront residence required deep foundation piles and careful sequencing around temporary basement propping.
Coordinated a package including CFA and screw piling, capping beams, temporary propping, bulk excavation and shotcrete. A hired rig provided the depth required for the foundation piles.

Foundation and wall piles for a headland renovation.
A complex headland renovation required foundation piles, a garage shoring wall and later a crane base. Ground and rock conditions differed from those anticipated.
Discussed the encountered conditions with the engineers and adjusted some of the wall piles to a soldier-pile arrangement. The Heavies later completed additional crane-base and stair foundation piling.
Builder: J Moore Builders. Engineer: Collins & Associates. Geotechnical consultant: Regional Geotechnical Solutions.
