KPS Civil Contractors is extensively involved in all types of Piling works Australia wide, and we own state of the art machinery to facilitate quick and easy accomplishment of the job irrespective of the intricacy. We offer a wide range of piling applications including:

Bore Piles

Sometimes referred to as drilled piers, bored piles are cast-in-place piles ranging from 600mm to 6000mm in diameter with depth that can reach down to 100 metres. Bored piles are installed by first removing the soil by a drilling process and then constructing the pile by placing concrete in the hole. The simplest form of construction consists of drilling an unlined or unprotected hole and filling it with concrete. 

Screw Piles

Screwpiles are a steel screw-in piling and ground anchoring system used for building foundations. Screwpiles are manufactured using varying sizes of tubular hollow sections for the pile or anchor shaft. The pile shaft transfers a structure's load into the pile. Helical steel plates are welded to the pile shaft in accordance with the intended ground conditions. Helices can be press-formed to a specified pitch or simply consist of flat plates welded at a specified pitch to the pile's shaft.

Soldier Piles

Steel piles are either driven or drilled in at intervals along a wall for the attachment of wood lagging or sheet steel to allow excavation to continue similar to a row of soldiers standing at attention.

CFA Piles

A continuous flight augering drill is used to excavate a hole and concrete is injected through a hollow shaft under pressure as the auger is extracted. This creates a continuous pile without ever leaving an open hole. Continuous flight augering can be used to construct a secant pile wall which can be used as a retaining wall or as shoring during excavation. Once initial piles are set with concrete, other shafts are augured between them, slicing into the original piles, with the new ones receiving reinforcement. The finished result is a continuous wall of reinforced concrete that aids and protects workers during excavation.
