KHB Piling, a leading London-based piling contractor, is proud to unveil a new sustainable piling programme designed to reduce the environmental footprint of construction projects across the city. This initiative addresses the increasing demand for eco-conscious piling solutions within London’s construction industry.
As part of this programme, KHB Piling will implement advanced techniques, including Continuous Flight Auger (CFA) piling and screw piling, to limit environmental disruption while providing dependable foundation solutions. The company is also introducing a thorough environmental monitoring system to evaluate the impact of piling work within London’s densely populated areas, strengthening its dedication to sustainable construction methods.
London’s unique soil challenges and urban density make piling projects particularly complex. “Our focus on sustainable piling solutions in London reflects our commitment to adapting our techniques to meet the city’s specific needs while safeguarding its future,” stated Kamil Krystman, a spokesperson for KHB Piling.
“This initiative is a significant step towards greener construction practices, ensuring long-term benefits for both the community and the environment.”
KHB Piling’s sustainable piling programme will unfold in three main stages:
- Assessment and Planning: The initial stage includes a comprehensive environmental impact study and infrastructure assessment to adapt piling methods specifically for London’s requirements.
- Pilot Projects: Select pilot projects around London will use CFA and screw piling techniques. The environmental effects and efficiency of these projects will be closely observed.
- Review and Expansion: After the pilot phase, KHB Piling will carry out a detailed review to enhance its sustainable approach. The company aims to extend these environmentally friendly methods to more projects throughout London.
Mini piling continues to be an essential approach in London, particularly for projects with limited access or lower load-bearing needs. KHB Piling’s skill in mini piling enables them to offer foundation solutions that are both strong and respectful of the surrounding environment.
Looking beyond London, KHB Piling is planning to bring these sustainable practices to other UK cities. The company is currently in discussions with industry leaders and environmental groups to establish national standards for sustainable piling.
