Rotary bored piling projects

This project involved the construction of a new engineering workshop at Middlesbrough College. The site, partially located on a backfilled dock, posed unique geotechnical challenges due to the deep infill ground. Beneath it lay made ground, tidal flats, and Mercia Mudstone, necessitating a tailored piling solution to mitigate potential risks.

As part of the Visual Impact Provision project in Eryri National Park, the removal of 10 electricity pylons and three kilometres of overhead powerlines required the construction of two shafts and a 3.4 km tunnel to carry new electricity cables under the Dwyryd Estuary. VolkerGround Engineering, contracted by HOCHTIEF UK Construction Ltd, was tasked to build a launch chamber and headwall to enable this construction.

In May 2023, VolkerGround Engineering was awarded a contract by VolkerStevin, supporting them on a project to construct a new pedestrian footbridge. The New Wear high-level Footbridge will provide connectivity between Sheepfolds and Sunderland city centre, it is a part of the Riverside Sunderland Masterplan.

In Summer 2021, VolkerGround Engineering was awarded a programme of works by Kier Highways, to provide temporary steel sheet piling, Continuous Flight Auger (CFA) and rotary bored piling.

Between February and September 2020, VolkerGround Engineering was awarded three contracts by Deconstruct Ltd as part of the Cambridge House Redevelopment project in Piccadilly, London.

In January 2021, VolkerGround Engineering was awarded a contract by Deconstruct UK, to design and construct bearing piles and a secant wall, to assist them in the redevelopment of a former Chelsea Police station, within the London Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, into a seven-storey residential led mixed use development.

In April 2019, VolkerGround Engineering was awarded a contract to design and construct a contiguous bored piled wall into sandstone, in order to enable the construction of a Jacobean style theatre inspired by William Shakespeare, in Prescott, Merseyside.

In October 2018, VolkerGround Engineering was awarded a £3m contract by Kier Highways Ltd to install bearing piles for the motorway signage on the M20, as part of the SMART Motorways programme.
