Sectional Flight Auger (SFA)
Mini Sectional Flight Auger (SFA) piling is a bored replacement method specifically designed for projects where space and access are limited. This technique is particularly well-suited for sites with low headroom, narrow working areas, or internal building environments where conventional piling rigs cannot operate.
The system uses smaller, sectional auger tools that can be assembled on-site, enabling efficient pile installation without compromising structural integrity or performance, even in highly constrained conditions.

Bottom Driven Mini Piles
Bottom-driven mini piles provide a highly cost-effective and environmentally friendly foundation solution, making them ideal for a wide range of construction projects. This method uses significantly less concrete or cement compared to other mini-piling techniques, reducing both material costs and environmental impact.
As a displacement piling method, it eliminates the need for spoil removal, which is especially beneficial on sites with contaminated or sensitive ground conditions. This clean, efficient process also minimises disruption and site preparation requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions !
What is restricted access piling?
Restricted access piling refers to foundation techniques designed for use in areas with limited space, headroom, or access, where traditional piling rigs cannot be used.
When is restricted access piling necessary?
It’s typically required in basements, tight urban sites, inside existing structures, or locations with height or width constraints that limit standard equipment use.
What piling methods are suitable for restricted access sites?
Common methods include Mini Piling, Sectional Flight Auger (SFA) piling, and Bottom Driven Piling, all of which utilise compact or modular equipment.
Are restricted access piling methods as strong as conventional piling?
Yes, when properly designed and installed, restricted access piles can offer comparable load-bearing capacity and long-term performance to standard piling systems.
