Sainsbury's Welwyn Garden City

21:59 | Posted by Appleton Piling
Sainsbury's are expanding their superstore at Welwyn Garden City. Appleton Piling Ltd completed the installation of the temporary excavation support in January 2011 working for contractor AD Bly Ltd. Appleton Piling Ltd designed the sheet piles and framing system to allow excavation to a maximum of 6.4m below the existing ground level.

The sheet piles were installed using a Telescopic Leader Rig and the Kowan WP150 Still Worker with the piles pitched with the Appleton Piling Ltd Logicrane 55.38 Telescopic Crawler Crane. Removal of the temporary framing and extraction of the sheet piles, using the Kowan WP150 Still Worker, will commence in February 2011.
