Big Cut Piling specialises in all types of concrete foundations Melbourne. Foundations provide the stability of a structure from within the ground. This allows the structure to distribute it's weight over a large area in order to avoid overloading the underlying soil. The design and the construction of a well-performing foundation must possess some basic requirements. Foundations are generally considered either shallow namely strip & pad footings or deep namely a pile or piling. 

Big Cut Piling provides Contiguous Piling Melbourne which consists of piles arranged in a line typically with a minimum 50mm to 100mm gap between each pile. Where required the soil between each pile can be stabilised using shotcrete or grouting techniques. These wall types are constructed as cast in situ pile walls as either conventional bored piles with kelly bar rig (with or without drilling support fluid) or alternatively as CFA piles. Contiguous Piling Melbourne is normally adopted in cohesion-less soils where the soil cannot temporarily arch across large spans between piles (as required in conventional soldier pile arrangements). Typically the basement excavation level is not below the ground water table. In the final basement wall condition, the contiguous piling Melbourne would normally be shotcreted to prevent any loss of retained soil between the piles over the life of the structure.

Big Cut piling provides Secant Piling Melbourne in the form of a retaining wall constructed for ground retention prior to excavation. The wall is formed by interlocking or overlapping the primary piles with secondary piles. Primary piles will not consist of reinforcement steel and be of a weaker premix concrete value than the secondary pile which consists of reinforcement steel. Secant Piling Melbourne is where the secondary piles partially cut into either side of the primary piles in order to form a continuous impervious concrete structure. This achieves a higher level of soil retention than the contiguous or soldier pile design.

Typically the final basement level is below the groundwater table and the soils are soft/loose and/or cohesion-less.  In the final basement condition the secant piles are shotcreted to prevent any degradation of the primary piles over time and reduce the likelihood of inflows at the pile to the pile interface.
