NACC WILLIAMTOWN RAAF BASE UPGRADE
Williamtown, NSW
CFA Piles & Foundation Piles
Project Description
Design and Construct 84 no. foundation piles for the new air force base aeroplane hangars. CFA Piling of 750mm diameter piles at 10m depth.
Solutions
Drilling needed to be closely monitored by the operator and supervisor when the pile had reached final depth. At this point, concreting commenced and the auger was held in position briefly before retracting to allow a firm, and clean base for the toe of the pile and a smooth extraction rate for the auger.
