In-House Piling Design in Taunton SW — Design and Build Under One Roof

Piling design is needed for every piling project. It suits clients who want a single point of contact from design to installation, and any project where the pile specification must be matched to the actual ground rather than assumed.

Typical piling design projects include residential extensions, commercial new builds, basement conversions, and any project where the pile specification must be engineered for the actual ground.

Piling design is the structural engineering that matches the pile type, diameter, depth and reinforcement to the ground conditions and the structural loads. Our in-house team produces the design, issues it for building control approval, and then installs the piles — removing the delay that occurs when design and build are split across two contractors. One team, one point of contact, no waiting on a third party.

We assess the ground and the loads, then produce the pile specification — type, diameter, depth and reinforcement. The design is issued for building control approval, and the same team then installs the piles. We coordinate the whole sequence.

Piling design cost is typically included within the overall piling package. The total cost depends on the pile type, the ground conditions, the number of piles and the access. We provide a fixed quote within 48 hours of the site visit.
