Completion of First UK Project
FK Lowry Piling has completed its first piling scheme on the UK mainland and hope the success will lead to further opportunities there.
The £230,000 project at Swindon in Wiltshire for long term client McAleer and Rushe involved the installation of CFA bearing piles to enable construction work to begin on an eight-storey mixed use development which will create a prestigious new gateway to the town centre.
Part of the development will be used for a new Jurys Inn Swindon commissioned by the Jurys Doyle hotel group, with the remainder providing a number of luxury apartments.
FKL installed a total of 152 600mm diameter bearing piles to depths of up to 23 metres using a high torque CFA piling rig to penetrate layers of rock through stiff clays. The site team also carried out a series of static load tests in addition to 100% integrity testing.
