Project Overview

A $321,300 piling package for Hansen Yuncken on a confined inner-city site.

The package included the bored piles for the building’s pedestrian bridge, drilled into bedrock with a down-the-hole hammer beside a newly installed 1350 mm stormwater pipe and extended below its invert to the designer’s revised depths. BridgePro raised the risk from the adjacent backfilled trench early and planned casing and backfill measures for the affected piles, working with compact rigs between existing buildings.

Key figures: 900 mm bored piers drilled into bedrock.
