Swinton Project
PILES AND PRE-CAST FOUNDATION SOLUTION FOR 18 SEMI-DETACHED AND TERRACE HOUSES
Project Description
Data: 197 x 200mm Square Piles & 589 Linear meters of 400mm x 400mm pre-cast ground beams
Client: Winworth Construction
Challenges: Site situated in an area of peat with a high water table
The Swinton site posed significant challenges for traditional construction methods due to the its location on peat land with a high-water table. The conditions would make it extremely difficult, if not impossible, to construct the prescribed in-situ reinforced concrete foundations. The issue was exacerbated by the need to stay above the flood plain level, further complicating foundation design.
Aarsleff and Capitaline offered Winworth Construction a value-engineered solution involving piles and pre-cast grounds beams. This approach allowed the construction to proceed efficiently, despite the site’s challenging ground conditions.
The use of piles and pre-cast ground beams enabled the project to stay above the flood plain, bypassing the difficulties posed by the soft, waterlogged ground.
