Contiguous pile walls consist of piles arranged in a line typically with a 150mm gap between the piles. Where required the soil between the piles can be stabilised using grouting techniques if necessary, either before or after pile installation.
King post walls are a cost-effective system of temporary or permanent retention using beams and precast concrete panels.
Slurry walls are constructed using a cement-bentonite slurry to produce a below ground low permeability barrier.
During construction it is often necessary to form a stable excavation and to ensure that any associated movement will not damage neighbouring structures or utilities. Keller offers flexible solutions to solve even highly complex excavation support problems both in a temporary or in a permanent…
Wet soil mixing, also known as the deep mixing method, improves the characteristics of weak soils by mechanically mixing them with cementitious binder slurry.
Soil nailing uses grouted steel nails to reinforce in situ soils and create a gravity retaining wall for permanent or temporary excavation support.
Compensation or fracture grouting is the injection of a cement slurry grout into the soil creating and filling fractures that then lift the overlying soil and structures.
Keller UK provides geotechnical solutions for the commercial market sector for both existing and planned structures, including office buildings, hotels, distribution centres, retail, data centres, and other structures.
Continuous flight auger (CFA) piles are drilled and concreted in one continuous operation enabling much faster installation time than for bored piles. Reinforcement is placed into the wet concrete after casting, enabling the pile to resist the full range of structural loading.
Permeation grouting, also known as cement grouting or pressure grouting, fills cracks or voids in soil and rock and permeates coarse, granular soils with flowable particulate grouts to create a cemented mass.
