Our Services

Comprehensive Geotechnical Solutions

From deep foundations to ground improvement, we deliver the full spectrum of geotechnical services across all seven Emirates.

01

Piling Systems

Comprehensive deep foundation solutions engineered for structural integrity and load-bearing performance.

Bored Piles

Cast-in-situ piles drilled to precise depths, suitable for heavy structural loads in varied geotechnical conditions. Diameters up to 2.0 m, depths exceeding 47 m.

Micro-Piles

Small-diameter, high-capacity piles ideal for restricted-access sites, underpinning, and seismic retrofitting applications.

CFA Piles

Continuous Flight Auger piles offering rapid installation with minimal vibration — suited for urban environments and sensitive adjacent structures.

Pile Load Testing

Rigorous static and dynamic load testing to verify pile capacity and confirm design assumptions in compliance with international standards.

02

Retaining & Shoring Systems

Engineered earth retention and excavation support systems that ensure site stability during deep basement construction.

Retaining wall shoring struts supporting deep basement excavation

Secant Pile Walls

Interlocking bored pile walls providing water-tight retention for deep excavations in high water-table environments.

Contiguous Pile Walls

Closely spaced bored pile walls suitable for soil retention where groundwater control is not a primary concern.

Soldier Pile Walls

Steel H-pile and lagging systems for cost-effective temporary excavation support in stable ground conditions.

Sheet Piles

Interlocking steel sheet piles for waterfront structures, cofferdams, and temporary or permanent earth retention.

03

Ground Improvement & Treatment

Advanced soil stabilization and improvement techniques that enhance bearing capacity and prepare weak ground for construction.

Ground improvement works with vibro compaction equipment

Stone Columns

Vibro-replacement stone columns that improve load-bearing capacity and accelerate consolidation in soft cohesive soils.

Vibro Compaction

Deep vibratory densification of granular soils to increase density and reduce liquefaction potential.

Controlled Modulus Columns (CMC)

Semi-rigid inclusions that transfer structural loads to competent strata while controlling differential settlement.

Pressure Grouting

Cement or chemical grout injection to fill voids, stabilize loose soils, and improve ground strength.

Cavity Filling

Specialized grouting to treat subsurface cavities and voids, mitigating settlement risk in karstic or compromised ground.

04

Enabling & Support Works

Essential site preparation and support services that complement core geotechnical operations.

Excavation and enabling works with heavy machinery on site

Excavation & Carting Away

Controlled excavation and material removal for basement construction, utility corridors, and site grading.

Dewatering

Groundwater management systems including well-point and deep-well dewatering to maintain dry working conditions.

Soil Nailing

In-situ reinforcement technique using grouted steel bars to stabilize slopes and excavation faces.

Our Process

How Bored Piling Works

A proven six-step process that ensures every pile meets design specifications and international quality standards.

01

Site Investigation

Soil borings and geotechnical analysis determine pile type, diameter, and depth based on ground conditions.

02

Rig Positioning

Piling rigs are positioned using GPS coordinates to ensure exact pile locations per structural drawings.

03

Drilling & Casing

Rotary drilling with temporary casing or polymer slurry stabilizes the borehole through unstable soil layers.

04

Reinforcement Cage

Pre-fabricated steel reinforcement cages are lowered into the borehole to design specifications.

05

Concrete Placement

High-strength concrete is poured using tremie pipes from bottom-up, displacing any slurry or water.

06

Integrity Testing

Completed piles undergo sonic integrity and/or static load testing to verify capacity and quality.
