TERRADRIVE
RESTRICTED ACCESS PILING
Terradrive provides restricted access piling solutions across Ireland, using a range of mini and medium-sized piling rigs to install foundations in locations where conventional methods are not feasible.
Our systems are specifically designed for tight, constrained, and urban sites, delivering safe, efficient, and cost-effective foundation solutions.
Restricted access piling (or mini piling) is a foundation technique used where limited space, access constraints, or existing structures prevent the use of traditional excavation or large piling rigs.
It is widely used for:
- House extensions and refurbishments
- Urban and infill developments
- Projects adjacent to existing structures
- Sites with deep or piled existing foundations
Access Where Others Can't
Our compact rigs can operate in extremely confined areas, with larger rigs requiring as little as 900mm (3ft) access width.
This makes mini piling ideal for rear garden access, access between existing buildings, and internal or enclosed work areas.
Reduced Risk to Adjacent Structures
Mini piling:
- Minimises ground disturbance
- Reduces the risk of settlement or damage
- Provides a controlled, engineered foundation solution
Faster, Cleaner Installation
- No bulk excavation required
- Minimal spoil generation
- Faster installation and reduced programme time
Cost-Effective Foundation Solution
- Avoids high excavation and spoil removal costs
- Reduces labour and temporary works
- Particularly efficient for deep foundation requirements
Ideal for Modern Construction Challenges
With many newer properties built on deep foundations and tight plots, traditional excavation for extensions is often impractical.
Mini piling provides a practical, buildable solution that:
- Works within restricted site conditions
- Integrates with existing foundations
- Supports safe and efficient project delivery
