Working Platform Design
Crane over water
A working platform provides a stable base from which tracked plant, such as piling rigs, can safely operate.
Clients regularly come to Soiltechnics to provide a working platform design for their piling rigs. We initially review the available ground investigation information to determine the subgrade strength. If necessary we undertake supplementary investigation works targeting the shallow soils.
The design of the platform is undertaken in accordance with BRE 470 (Piling) or CIRIA C703 (Cranes). Alternatively, if requested, we can undertake the design in accordance with the guidance published by the Temporary Works Forum.
What Our Clients Say
"Vision Survey have worked with Soiltechnics for several years, initially forging a strong working relationship with their Manchester office, which has since expanded to include our respective southern offices. We appreciate their excellent professional conduct, their collaborative working approach and ultimately, in knowing that we can rely on them to meet our requirements."
Nathan Pickering, Regional Operations Lead – Vision Survey
"I thoroughly recommend the expertise of Mark and the team – trustworthy and valuable advice in a quick timeframe for my project.”
A. Prior – Landowner
“Just wanted to say that I was very impressed with the site team this week. The site engineer showed great leadership on site, delivering the works on time, and kept us updated with daily diaries and updates throughout. The engineer also promptly provided me with certifications for all of the drilling rigs and equipment the guys were using without me having to ask for it, which isn’t typical of all of our subcontractors!”
Lewis Brown, Site Manager Projects – The Clancy Group
