Bored piling is one of the most effective foundation solutions for transferring heavy loads to deeper, more stable soil layers. At Aarsleff, a subsidiary of one of Denmark’s leading civil engineering contractors, we pride ourselves on being one of the UK’s most trusted bored piling contractors.

With over 30 years of experience, choosing Aarsleff as your bored piling contractor means a bespoke value-engineered design and installation solution for a wide range of schemes. Our extensive range of rigs, machinery, and equipment allows us to install and build tighter vertical bored pile walls to your desired specifications.

A choice specialist piling contractor, Aarsleff is experienced in the delivery of continuous flight auger (CFA) piles and strives to create value for your site through operational excellence. Our daughter company, Cannon Piling, is an augered piling specialist based in Essex and together, we have 40 years of experience in delivering CFA piling projects.

We have the capability to offer our clients CFA piling solutions for projects that require minimal vibration and noise piling methods such as inner cities. Utilising the latest rig machinery and pile technology, Aarsleff’s design capabilities create bespoke solutions that add value to your site project.

Contiguous pile walls are constructed with nominal gaps between adjacent piles and are mainly installed using suitable piling techniques. Ideal in crowded urban areas, where alternative retaining methods would not be applicable and where development space is limited. The gap between each pile is typically 150mm and can be constructed to provide load bearing capacity. They are ideal when groundwater ingress is not an issue for the finished wall. Aarsleff Ground Engineering are a specialist contiguous pile wall contractor.

Aarsleff has the specialist plant and labour to carry out all types of drilling and grouting works from the filling of redundant coal mines and soil mixing to stabilisation of soil and compaction grouting.

Driven precast concrete piling is the technique Aarsleff is known for, having worked as a piling contractor for over 30 years in the UK. We like to follow the lead of European construction and offer the alternate (the more cost-effective and sustainable alternative) to our clients, unlike other concrete foundation contractors.

Our specialised services provide robust foundation support for all types of engineering structures, from commercial buildings to complex marine projects. We utilise state-of-the-art piling technology and techniques to ensure rapid installation and minimal environmental impact.

At Aarsleff, we have been delivering high-quality and innovative engineering solutions for over four decades. Our team brings a wealth of experience and knowledge in the design and installation of ground anchor systems. We use ground anchors for retaining walls, spread foundations, and for the anchoring of permanent and temporary structures in clay, soil, gravel or sand without excavation, casting or damage to the foundation.

Compaction grouting is a ground improvement method which is used to increase the density of the soil. This method of grouting is usually used to rehabilitate settlement of sensitive structures.

Compaction grouting is carried out by injecting stiff mortar-like grout under pressure through cased boreholes to form bulbs, which pushes the surrounding soil to the side and increasing its density. This grouting method is used for treating a wide variety of loose soils, with relatively good drainage, and is performed at depths ranging from 2m, right down to several tens of meters.

Installed by choice piling contractor Aarsleff Ground Engineering, H-Section Piles are used extensively for deep foundation applications to add stiffness and support to sheet pile walls, King Post Walls and foundations.

H-Piles are steel beams that are driven into the earth by pile driving equipment. The tough and durable cross sections provide excellent driving characteristics when driving in difficult soil and rock conditions. Steel H-Piles are structural square beams that are available in a wide variety of sizes and can also be used for marine structure applications.

Aarsleff Ground Engineering are an experienced king post wall contractor, designing and delivering operational excellence as a retaining wall contractor.

King Posts are isolated steel columns that are installed along the line of the proposed retaining wall typically at centres between 1 and 3m. The space between the posts is filled, over the retained height, using a variety of different solutions but most commonly a precast concrete panel.

Mini Piles enable home developers to create extensions to homes in tight spaces that would have otherwise been out of bounds. You can now secure projects and extend your residential developments over lands that would have otherwise been problematic.

Aarsleff Ground Engineering are an experienced sheet piling contractor, creating value for our clients through operational excellence.

Permanent retaining walls utilising sheet piles are used on schemes large and small, from simple projects to complex slope stabilisation solutions. They offer cost-effective alternatives to contiguous and secant piled walls. They may be designed to both retain temporary excavations and to act as the permanent retaining structure, often in conjunction with the base slab which offers propping to the wall. Sheet pile walls are commonly used in service yards of commercial and retail sector developments, flood defence schemes, bridge abutments and boundary walls. Sheet piling has distinct advantages over concrete contiguous and secant walls. Besides being more cost-effective, they require no curing time before excavations can commence, thus allowing shorter programmes.

Aarsleff Ground Engineering are a rigid inclusions contractor, specialising in the design and delivery of operational excellence across a wide range of ground engineering and improvement techniques. Our in-house design capabilities guarantee a bespoke solution, focused in on value-engineering. Using our fleet of specialised rigs, Aarsleff are able to install rigid inclusions for a wide range of projects including commercial shed structures.

Aarsleff Ground Engineering are a choice Secant Pile Wall contractor, designing and delivering operational excellence to create value-engineered solutions bespoke to your site.

Secant Pile Walls are formed by constructing intersecting reinforced concrete piles. The secant piles are reinforced with either steel rebar or with steel beams and are constructed by augering. Primary piles are installed first with secondary piles constructed in between primary piles once the latter gain sufficient strength. Pile overlap is typically in the order of 8 cm.  They are constructed when resistance to groundwater is required using the CFA technique or the cased CFA technology.
