Shire Piling

Shire piles are helical friction piles designed for use in new build applications (for remedial applications see Shire Stabilisers), approved for use by Local Authorities, Building Insurers, Consulting Engineers and Surveyors. The helical stabilisers are suitable to provide support for new lightweight structures e.g. conservatories, single storey extensions, porches and garages. Dependent upon ground conditions, the helical supports can be installed to depths up to approximately 10m or more and will carry loads from 30kN to 100kN.

As the helical supports are installed using an adapted pneumatic driving hammer, no piling rig is required, making Shire piles an ideal solution for sites with limited access. The efficient method of installation ensures minimal disruption for the client and minimal enabling works are usually required.

All engineered Shire pile schemes are supported by full calculations and safety factors and are available with a 12 year underwritten warranty.
