Case Studies

A steep bank at The Beacons, Bath presented a challenge no conventional rig could solve — temporary scaffolding foundations needed to be driven directly into the slope. Using the Noakes Engineering DHX5010 piling attachment, our team installed 220mm steel-cased bottom-driven piles where standard equipment couldn’t reach. Find out how we delivered the foundation solution for this large new build in Bath.

Lakeside Garden Centre in Crokerton, near Warminster, is set around two ornamental lakes — and extending its café meant tackling tight access between the water, a live site with customers throughout, and ground conditions demanding specialist equipment. Using the Noakes Engineering DHX5010, we installed 220mm steel-cased driven piles where a conventional rig couldn’t operate. Find out how we delivered the foundations for this unique project.

Piling on the banks of the River Torridge in Bideford presented every challenge a marine environment can throw at a team — tidal influences, confined access, and a new property extending beyond the sea wall. Using a custom-built DHX5010 drop hammer attachment from Noakes Engineering, we installed 273mm steel-cased driven piles with precision in conditions that demanded purpose-built solutions. Find out how we delivered this landmark offshore piling project in Devon.

A two-storey extension and ground-level decking in Bristol required 30 steel-cased driven piles across three distinct areas of the build — internal supports, the extension itself, and the decking structure. With challenging ground conditions and reinforced concrete beams to construct on top, this project called for careful planning and precise execution. Find out how we delivered it on time and to the client’s satisfaction.
