Vibratory Hammers
Vibratory hammers are required for driving and extraction of heavy casings in tough ground conditions and the installation and extraction of sheet piles.
Crane Drills
Our fleet of crane-mounted drills includes Canada's most powerful rig. We have drilled up to 16-foot diameter in overburden and rock, up to 40 metres (110 feet) deep. Some of these excavations have been used as permanent access shafts for tunnels and pumping stations, while others support the heaviest bridge or building column footings.
Track Drills
Our fleet of track-mounted drill rigs allow for quick and efficient set-up; with a drilling capability of up to three metres diameter shafts to depths of 33 metres (110 feet). Our newest machine is Canada's largest capacity hydraulic drill rig. This rig has an attachment which doubles torque capacity, allowing for the installation of caisson liners with rotation, thus eliminating the need for vibratory drivers. This method is used when working in sensitive areas such as excavations adjacent to historical buildings.
Pile Drivers
Our pile-driving equipment is world class. It includes the most modern diesel hammers, piling leads, and spotters. Deep Foundations has invented an electronically controlled spotter, which allows side batters to be employed safely, without the risk of damaging the crane's lattice boom. This invention is currently at patent-pending status
Tie Back Drills
Our fleet of tieback drills include both commercially available drills and custom designed built-in-house drills. Our rigs are capable of a technique seldom used in tieback drilling known as "reverse circulation drilling". This method is safe, clean and efficient and can be used in either soil or rock.
