CASE STUDIES OF MINI PILING IN A RAILWY ENVIRONMENT

Case studies are presented of working in a railway environment - which often presents logistical problems with regard to access and working space. In many circumstances there is no ready access and special provision has to be made in order to get plant, materials and personnel to the working areas. Once at the working area there is often restricted working space or working height restrictions due to the risk of plant or materials falling across live tracks. The foundation engineering industry has developed a fleet of mini piling rigs especially suited to such access and working conditions and can construct many different forms of piles to suit the proposed scheme. For the covering abstract see ITRD E123713.
