Primary Services: Foundation Piling, Retaining Wall Construction
This project involved the installation of over 70 foundation piles to secure a crucial retaining wall system. The design specifically addressed the long-term complexities of potential sea level rise for a new housing development situated in a sensitive coastal zone.
Primary Services: Major Underpinning, Structural Reinforcement
Executed major underpinning works for a double-story residence experiencing significant foundation settlement. This complex remediation project involved installing strategic structural steel I-beams to help realign and stabilize the entire house structure, addressing widespread cracking.
Primary Services: Foundation Piling
Engineered and installed stable piled foundations for a group of upscale houses located within the prestigious Constantia wine route. The scope involved the precise installation of more than 80 piles across the entire development site to ensure reliable, long-term foundation support.
Primary Services: Retaining Wall Construction, Rock Anchoring, Guniting
Constructed a formidable 25-meter high retaining wall structure on a challenging slope. This demanding project required an integrated approach utilizing gunite application, deep rock bolt installation for secure anchoring, and heavily reinforced concrete with steel mesh to guarantee exceptional long-term stability.
Primary Services: Micro-Piling, Foundation Stabilization
Provided specialized foundation reinforcement solutions for over 20 cell phone tower installations. This highly technical work involved installing very small diameter piles (micro-piles), ranging from 12 to 75 meters deep, around existing tower bases using high-tensile steel. This strengthened the foundations, allowed engineers to re-align the towers accurately, and significantly improved resistance to high wind load scenarios.
Primary Services: Piling, Retaining Walls, Rock Anchoring, Sub-surface Drainage
Developed and executed a multi-faceted solution for constructing a four-story building on a challenging 45-degree slope. This complex project required careful integration of foundation piles, multiple retaining walls, extensive rock bolt anchoring for stability, and sophisticated engineered drainage systems to manage excess groundwater and ensure site safety.
Primary Services: Lateral Support, Retaining Walls
Successfully executed a challenging lateral support project in Cape Town, involving excavation down to 18 meters from an existing 12 meter boundary wall. The project required meticulous planning and execution to ensure minimal movement of the adjacent three-story house during the excavation process.
Primary Services: Underpinning, Structural Support
Undertook a complex project to stabilize a house where the upstairs floors and walls were pulling apart. The solution involved underpinning and the installation of a 1-ton T-beam beneath the floor, along with cross-stitched lateral steel, to prevent further separation and stretching of the building.
Primary Services: Demolition
Completed the internal demolition of a two-story house and indoor swimming pool in Tableview. The project focused on careful demolition work while ensuring the structural integrity of the existing walls remained intact.
