Our Services

  • The Driven cast-in-situ Pile (DCIS) is the predominant pile type in the Western Cape, well-matched to the region's soils, offering various sizes and enlarged bases.

  • The Continuous Flight Auger (CFA) pile, a non-displacement type, is created by drilling a continuous flight auger into the ground.

  • Fairbrother Geotechnical Engineering provides comprehensive lateral support solutions, offering both design and construct services as well as construct-only services for client-designed projects.

  • Fairbrother Geotechnical Engineering operates three Self-Erecting Work Platforms (SEWPs), enabling geotechnical investigations in nearshore and harbour environments.

  • Geotechnical investigations gather data on soil and rock properties around a site to design foundations for new structures or address subsurface-related distress in existing ones.

  • Forum Bored Piling is a versatile foundation method ideal for constrained sites with limited access and headroom, such as building basements or congested areas.

  • Dewatering involves removing water from saturated soils using wellpoints. A vacuum, created by a pump, draws groundwater up through the wellpoint system for effective drainage.
