At JWB Civil Engineering, we recently completed a large piling project for Amgen, one of the world’s largest biotechnology companies. This project took place at their Amgen Dún Laoghaire (ADL) facility. ADL required a solution for an instability problem in the wall/embankment surrounding the premises. After assessing the site, we determined that foundation reinforcement services, including Ischebeck piles, would offer the best long-term solution for stability.
Why Foundation Reinforcement Was Needed
The embankment around the ADL premises had experienced significant movement. This raised concerns over the safety and stability of the surrounding structures. Foundation reinforcement strengthens existing foundations to support the load and withstand pressure. In this project, we used soil nailing, piling, and other reinforcement techniques to stabilize the structure. Specifically, Ischebeck piles were chosen for their strength and durability, ideal for embankment stabilization.
Our Approach: Piling and Foundation Reinforcement
To restore stability, we employed Ischebeck piling techniques. These piles provide exceptional support for foundations. By strategically placing them, we reinforced the embankment and prevented further movement.
As part of our foundation reinforcement services, we also conducted thorough ground investigations. This ensured the soil was suitable for piling. It was an essential step for ensuring the long-term stability of the structure. We worked closely with Amgen to provide the most efficient solution for the site.
Completed Project
The Amgen Dún Laoghaire project was completed in February 2024. Our team’s expertise in foundation reinforcement services allowed us to resolve the instability issue. As a result, the embankment and surrounding structures are now safe and secure.
