We’re delighted to have successfully delivered another project for our existing client, Robertson. It comes on the back of recently delivered Roberston projects at Springside, Edinburgh and Grangemouth. 450mm Dia. CFA Piles were installed to depths of up to 16m for axial vertical loads of up to 950kN using our most powerful high torque Soilmec SR-95 CFA Piling Rig. The site is located just over 100m from the River Clyde and adjacent to the Glasgow High Court of Justiciary. Ground conditions could be described as Made Ground overlying Medium Dense Sand with the Pile Design verified with 2 No. Static Load Tests and 100% Integrity Testing. We were delighted with the way the project was delivered and look forward to continuing our relationship with our key client across Scotland.Mark McKeown, Business Development Manager
