Oran Park Savings

13 Nov 2017

Laying out helixes for the garage Ideal screw piers

Over the last few years so much work has gone into the development of the Oran Park precinct. Estates and house lots are tighter and with less space on site. Added to the limited space on site is the cost removing soil for house foundations.

Our team at Ideal Foundations recently assisted on a redesign of a 22 unit project in Oran Park for a large builder/developer. Their initial foundation design was to use concrete piers for the foundations but with 500 piers that meant a lot of soil needed to be removed from the site. By changing to Ideal screw piers the builder achieved a major cost saving with the reduction of soil having to be removed from the site. Work continued on site without any disturbance. The Ideal Foundations team installed the 500 piers in 5 days enabling the builder to pour his slabs well in front of his planned program.
A great combined effort.

G.J. Gardner Variety Freedom House

G.J. Gardner Homes Australia (Penrith, NSW) has achieved a great result for Variety – The children’s charity.

The Penrith team built a brand new 4 bedroom home in Redbank Estate in North Richmond (NSW), which was auctioned last weekend with $375,000 going to Variety charity to help and change the lives of many Australian children. Digging of the house foundations began in March this year and the house was completed by September ready for the pre auction open home viewing.

Our Ideal Geotech soil technicians and geotechnical engineers played a small part at the start of the project by carry out onsite soil investigation and laboratory soil testing.

We’re proud to have played our little part on this worthy project.

 

 

Ideal Geotech Rigs swarm over a Central Coast Subdivision

02 Jun 2017

Our client needed a fast response for 21 lot classifications on a new development in the Central Coast of NSW. We were able assist quickly by sending four soil technicians to complete the testing within a day. We also took the opportunity to shoot a video showing the type of work our geotechnical technicians carry out. We will release that video onto our home page when it’s completed but for now we’ve started with a fun behind the scenes video.

1200 Steel Soldiers for Transportables

16 Jan 2017

Screw piers with adjustable caps ready to support transportable buildings

Ideal Foundations are half way through installing 1200 above ground screw piers supporting transportable admin buildings. The project is the construction of new admin buildings to support the building of a new Jail in Wellington NSW. The installation of the screw piers to support transportables above will take approximately three months Dec 2016 to Feb 2017. On average the screw piers are screwed down to 3.75m to accomodate the potential movement of the reactive soils on the site.

We’d like to thank Modular Building Systems (MBS) for the opportunity for our screw piers to support their transportable buildings. A project on this scale certainly makes our screw piers protruding from the ground look like soldiers marching – anyway we think so 🙂

It’s also a pleasure to work on a well planned construction – awesome work Hansen & Yunken!

Ideal take screw pier systems to a higher level

12 Dec 2016

Ideal Foundations new plant for higher capacity screw piersNew plant just arrived from the US!

Growing more into the light commercial foundations we wanted to have the same systemised approach as our residential pier. Our engineers have begun an R&D project on a new connection system for our higher capacity screw piers. Part of the new system led us to the good old USA to get the machinery needed. The new swagging system will allow for quicker and easier installation of screw piers similar to our residential piers.

Wellington, we have arrived!

Ideal Foundations stand at Agquip Gunnedah, the largest Agricultural show in Australia

We were back at Aguip smelling the fresh country air of Gunnedah. It’s funny how quickly a year goes by and it’s our 5th year supporting the largest Agricultural show in Australia. We showcased our Geotechnical rigs and live screw pier installations across the three day event.

Getting down with a new helix!

New Ideal Foundations screw pier helix

Today we’re launching our new cast helix to further enhance our off the shelf residential screw pier. Our R&D team and engineers have spent the last 12 months researching and testing the helix. The new helix has increased the capacity of the residential screw piers by more than 20% with a designed capacity of 85kN.
