EQUIPMENT

AUGER - a helical screw blade (like a giant corkscrew) used to loosen and lift soil out of the borehole.
Best For:
 Dry, cohesive, or slightly cohesive soils.
 Fast drilling in non-obstructive ground.

 Crane-Mounted Augers – for auger-cast pile systems

DRILLING BUCKET - a cylindrical container with a cutting edge and bottom flaps used to cut, collect, and
remove soil or rock from a borehole.
Best For:
 Harder soils, dense sand, gravel, or weak rock.
 Cleaning the bottom of the hole.

SHEET PILES - sections of sheet materials with interlocking edges that are driven into the ground to
provide earth retention and excavation support.

VIBRO HAMMER - a type of pile driving and pulling device that uses vibration to alter ground conditions,
allowing it to drive piles into the ground and pull them out.

Drilling Rigs / Bored Pile Machines – for deep foundation works like bored piles

POWER PACK - a self-contained and typically transportable unit which stores and supplies electrical
power.

TREMIE PIPE - a pipe that can be used for pouring concrete below ground level, often underwater.
• Should be submerged 1.5m below the clean concrete

TOTAL STATION - for accurate layout and alignment

Controlled points are known, fixed locations with accurately determined:
 Coordinates (X, Y, Z)
 Elevation
 Sometimes orientation (bearing or azimuth)
They serve as reference benchmarks for mapping, construction layout, and further surveying
tasks.

EXCAVATORS – for earthworks and trenching

BACKHOE LOADERS – for digging and loading material

MOBILE CRANES – for lifting reinforcement bars, formwork, and precast elements

REBAR CUTTERS AND BENDERS – for reinforcing steel bars (RSB)

BOOM LIFTS / AERIAL WORK PLATFORMS – for installing lighting, railings, inspection

WELDING MACHINES – for steel components and joints
