1.1. COMPANY BACKGROUND

Piling Contractors Pty Ltd operates throughout Australia with the emphasis being to provide foundation engineering solutions to the infrastructure, civil, resources, mining and construction markets by undertaking design and construct, value engineering, alliance, ECI and construct only type projects.

Established in 1983 in Queensland, Piling Contractors has since expanded to operate nationally. Today Piling Contractors is one of the largest Australian piling companies, undertaking projects in all States and Territories with values ranging from $100,000 to $80M.

In 2006, Piling Contractors became part of the Keller Group, one of the world’s largest specialist ground engineering contractors. From its origin in 1860 to present day, Keller has been built on two things above all – engineering excellence and a commitment to continual innovation. Piling Contractors wholeheartedly supports these principles and contributes to the technological advances within the Group. In 2013 Piling Contractors celebrated 30 years in business.

PIGLET, GRLWEAP and REPUTE. • We offer a range of testing services including dynamic testing of driven, bored and CFA piles with

CAPWAP analysis, integrity testing, static vertical, lateral and bi directional (Osterberg) cell load tests. Our in-house PDA testing/CAPWAP Analysis is approved to advanced level by the Pile Driving Contractors Association of the USA.

• We take a lead role in the technical activities of the Piling and Foundation Specialists Federation (PFSF).

2.3. INNOVATION

a. Prestressed Mechanical Joint • The Gateway Upgrade Piling Alliance part funded the development of a revolutionary new

prestressed splicing system. • We have approval from the Department of Transport & Main Roads (QLD) for its use on selected

projects.

b. Enhanced Installation Tolerances • Work to install foundations for several LNG projects has required driving

ever larger steel tubes to tight tolerances. To meet this demand we have increased the capacity of our driven pile equipment (to be able to handle up to 1500mm diameter piles pitched in single lengths up to 33m long), and have fitted our driven piling rigs with Trimble GPS and Jean Lutz pile driving monitor equipment. These innovations put our driven piling capability at the forefront of the

market in Australia.

c. Pile Driving Monitor • When Piling Contractors was awarded a large driven piling contract, this innovative new technique

was not commercially available in the marketplace. • Piling Contractors saw significant safety advantages in its implementation and undertook with our

Client that if the technology became available during works it would be used for the project. • Piling Contractors brought the system to site in prototype form because of the safety and quality

improvements it offered. • The full scale trial at the first project was successful and Piling

Contractors subsequently purchased additional PDM units which have been widely used since.

2.4. WORKING WITH OUR INDUSTRY

Piling Contractors is a member of the following industry bodies:

• Federation of Piling and Foundation Specialists (Founder Member) • Australian Geomechanics Society • Concrete Institute of Australia • Alliancing Association of Australasia • Mining & Energy Services Council of Australia • Australian Industry Group • Civil Contractors Federation • Chamber of Commerce and Industry • Master Builders Association • Hunter Net

Many of our professional engineering staff are members of the Institution of Engineers Australia. We are also a partner in the Engineers Australia ‘Professional Development Program’.

3. CAPABILITY

3.1. PROJECT EXPERIENCE

Piling Contractors has undertaken a large range of projects in recent years varying in size and complexity and under different contracting arrangements including Alliancing, Sub-Alliancing, Early Contractor Involvement, Design & Construct and Construct only. We are client focussed.

We have undertaken foundation works all across Australia including in remote regions such as the Kimberly and Pilbara regions of Western Australia, the Northern Territory and Far North Queensland.

The company has over 30 years history of delivering projects of magnitude safely, on time and on budget. To this end, we believe that an early specialist foundation contractor involvement is the most effective way to ensure efficient design, feasible and safe construction methods and the timely delivery of foundation solutions ahead of time and target cost estimates.

Details of recent projects that demonstrate our capability and expertise are available from our website . We also have a library of Project Data Sheets providing additional information about many of our past projects.

Numerous timelapse videos and animations illustrating some of the techniques we offer are available from our website at http://www.pilingcontractors.com.au/timelapse-and-animations

3.2. WORKING IN DIFFICULT / REMOTE LOCATIONS

We have considerable experience working in difficult and remote locations including the Pilbara of Western Australia, Gove Peninsular in Northern Territory, remote bridge sites west of Katherine in Northern Territory, Port facilities at Karrumba in Far North Queensland, transmission line sites from Port Augusta to Olympic Dam in South Australia and LNG projects in the Northern Territory, Queensland and Western Australia.

3.3. STAFF RESOURCES

Piling Contractors will provide the most suitably skilled team to undertake any particular project works at the appropriate time. Construction personnel are selected on a project-specific basis dependant on foundation engineering technique, equipment and specialist skill requirements. Our foreman / supervisors have more than 400 years combined piling experience.
