Piling
Investing in Britain’s infrastructure - With over 125 years of experience in steel piling we can complete even the most complex ground engineering challenges.
This is one of our traditional businesses, which operates across a number of sectors and which has continued to grow rapidly.
The division works in a range of different settings within this market sector including river crossings, abutments, deep excavations in city centres and canal diversion, all requiring the hands on experience our specialist skilled team can provide.
Construction growth is predicted to outpace that of the UK economy over the next three years. With growth being forecast in the commercial sector and greater investment by the water and energy utilities, this should have a beneficial effect on the Piling industry in general and Thomas Vale Piling Division in particular.
Other projects have been undertaken throughout the UK including cofferdams at Port Talbot, Celsa Steel (Cardiff), Rochester (Kent), Hackney (London) and Cambidge. Retaining walls have also been completed at Rugby, Tesco Carmarthen, Newport, Portishead, Bristol, Barrat Homes, Wrekham and Holywell.
