How Restricted Is Restricted?

The general term restricted access is normally taken to mean that the access or the working head room will not permit the use of a traditional open site piling rig.

• Where the site is too restricted for open site rigs in the 25 tonne plus range, our fleet of high power compact and midi rigs weighing between 1.7 and 15 tonnes often offer a more cost effective solution. Such sites may be restricted in terms of access onto the site, working space or the weight of the rig which is a restriction on occasions. These rigs also cost less to mobilise and may require a considerably less expensive piling platform than heaver rigs.
• Where the site is obviously very restricted, in the past “mini piling” rigs such as tripod rigs would have been used. Today the capability of hydraulic crawler restricted access rigs offer vastly improved performance both depth & diameter as well as speed. Recent initiatives by the HSE with regard to fitting of auger guarding to rigs have made it once again more difficult to access difficult working spaces.
• However it is still possible for example to install 300mm of piles into 20m deep in 2.5 m of headroom, with the distance from the pile centre only 450mm from a wall or larger 450mm piles only 650mm away
