At Rhino Piling, we are excited to announce our latest project in Macclesfield, where we are demonstrating our commitment to providing solid foundations for quality construction. Our team has begun installation of deep foundation piles reaching a minimum depth of 15 meters to ensure exceptional structural stability.
The complete foundation solution
This project showcases our comprehensive foundation services beyond just installing the piles, we are handling the entire foundation process including:
- Installation of all piles to 15+ metre depths
- Construction of the complete ring beam
- All concrete work for both the ring beam and the piles
- Delivery of fully finished foundations ready for the bricklayers
Did you know? A few fascinating facts about pile foundations
While we work on preparing the perfect foundation for this Macclesfield development, here are some interesting facts about pile foundations that demonstrate why they are so crucial.
- Ancient technology, modern application – pile foundations have been used since prehistoric times. Archaeological evidence shows that pile foundations supported lake dwellings in Switzerland and Scotland as far back as 5000 years ago.
- Depth matters – our 15-meter minimum depth piles at the Macclesfield site may seem deep, but the world’s deepest piles can extend over 100 meters into the ground, that’s the equivalent of a 30-story building underground!
- Force distribution experts – a single concrete pile can support weights of 30-50 tons, distributing the buildings load through unstable uppersoil layers to reach more solid ground below.
- Environmental impact – modern piling techniques like ours are designed to minimize vibration noise and disruption compared to older methods, making them more neighbourhood friendly.
- Urban problem solvers – in areas with challenging ground conditions, like Melbourne’s piled foundations, they often represent the only viable solution for safe, stable construction.
At Rhino Piling, our motto says it all. We get you off the ground. Our expertise ensures your project starts with the strongest possible foundation, quite literally from the ground up!
