HEAVY FOUNDATIONS PTY LTDContinuous flight auger piling for foundations and piled retaining walls.
The right approach depends on the design, ground conditions, working platform and access. Our published projects show CFA piling used for both foundation support and basement walls.
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.

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.
