Low Noise and Low Vibration Piling Noise pollution from construction sites is a nuisance to local residents and Local Authorities often impose limits. Noise at Work Regulations set action levels at which exposure to workers needs to be controlled. Ground borne vibration is often perceived by people as detrimental and can lead to structural damage to nearby buildings. Party wall legislation requires that work must not cause unnecessary inconvenience to owners and occupiers of adjoining property. Environmental constraints on site operations are stricter than ever, particularly on urban sites. It is often the case that sites with difficult access and working conditions are subject to the most onerous environmental restrictions. Inner city sites with party wall issues are a prime example. It is essential for a successful project that an appropriate and cost effective piling technique is chosen especially where noise or vibration is a sensitive issue. In general the use of our specialist smaller scale plant and piling equipment for minipiling reduces the environmental impact considerably in comparison to larger scale conventional piling rigs. We offer a full range of minipiling techniques to meet the particular environmental constraints for your site, be that noise, vibration or other factors. Where noise or ground borne vibration is an issue our specialist piling systems may be the only practical choice. Our low noise low vibration bottom driven piling system offers a solution that is economic and environmentally friendly. The system is installed using small scale mini piling rigs which can operate in restricted access situations. The method employs much lower energies than other forms of conventional driven piling particularly at the more critical shallower depths. The energy transfer is concentrated at the pile toe within a prefabricated casing. Consequently energy losses are much less than for top driven piling and less energy input is required. As a cast in place displacement technique the method offers a number of advantages (see Bottom Driven datasheet for further details) including zero spoil, a particular advantage on brown field potentially contaminated sites.
