2.3 WORKING WITH OUR INDUSTRY 2.4 – NOVEMBER 2014
Piling Contractors is a member of the following industry bodies:  Federation of Piling and Foundation Specialists (Founder Member)  Australian Geomechanics Society  Concrete Institute of Australia  Alliancing Association of Australasia  Mining & Energy Services Council of Australia  Australian Industry Group  Civil Contractors Federation  Chamber of Commerce and Industry  Master Builders Association  Hunter Net Many of our professional engineering staff are members of the Institution of Engineers Australia. We are also a partner in the Engineers Australia ‘Professional Development Program’. CAPABILITY STATEMENT

We take a lead role in the technical activities of the Piling and Foundation Specialists Federation (PFSF). We train new graduates and technicians in our speciality, building the future engineers and managers of our industry. Our staff publish and present technical papers at local, regional and international seminars and conferences and we maintain a strong commitment to research and development. We contributed technical expertise to the development and drafting of the Concrete Institute of Australia’s ‘Tremie Concrete for Deep Foundations’ publication. INNOVATION a. Prestressed Mechanical Joint  The Gateway Upgrade Piling Alliance part funded the development of a revolutionary new prestressed splicing system.  Since that project we have continued the process of seeking approval from the Department of Transport & Main Roads (QLD).

– NOVEMBER 2014
CAPABILITY STATEMENT

Piling Contractors in conjunction with the Ballina Bypass Alliance concurrently started the process to obtain approval from the Roads and Maritime Services for this time and cost saving joint. 
Piling Contractors saw significant safety advantages in its implementation and undertook with our Client that if the technology became available during works it would be used for the project.  Piling Contractors brought the system to site in prototype form because of the safety and quality improvements it offered.  The full scale trial at the first project was successful and Piling Contractors subsequently purchased additional PDM units which have been widely used since. c. Enhanced Installation Tolerances 
Work to install foundations for several LNG projects has required driving ever larger steel tubes to tight tolerances. To meet this demand we have increased the capacity of our driven pile equipment (to be able to handle up to 1500mm diameter piles pitched in single lengths up to 33m long), and have fitted our driven piling rigs with Trimble GPS and Jean Lutz pile driving monitor equipment. These innovations put our driven piling capability at the forefront of the market in Australia. 3. CAPABILITY 3.1 PROJECT EXPERIENCE Piling Contractors has undertaken a large range of projects in recent years varying in size and complexity and under different contracting arrangements including Alliancing, Sub‐Alliancing, Early Contractor Involvement, Design & Construct and Construct only. We have undertaken foundation works all across Australia including in remote regions such as the Kimberly and Pilbara regions of Western Australia, the Northern Territory and Far North Queensland.

Details of recent projects that demonstrate our capability and expertise are available upon request. We also have a library of Project Data Sheets providing additional information about many of our past projects. 3.2 WORKING IN DIFFICULT / REMOTE LOCATIONS – NOVEMBER 2014
We have considerable experience working in difficult and remote locations including the Pilbara of Western Australia, Gove Peninsular in Northern Territory, remote bridge sites west of Katherine in Northern Territory, Port facilities at Karrumba in Far North Queensland and transmission line sites from Port Augusta to Olympic Dam in South Australia. CAPABILITY STATEMENT
The company has a 30 year history of delivering projects of magnitude safely, on time and on budget. To this end, we believe that an early specialist foundation contractor involvement is the most effective way to ensure efficient design, feasible and safe construction methods and the timely delivery of foundation solutions ahead of time and target cost estimates. 3.3 STAFF RESOURCES Piling Contractors will provide the most suitably skilled team to undertake any particular project works at the appropriate time. Construction personnel are selected on a project‐specific basis dependant on foundation engineering technique, equipment and specialist skill requirements. Our foreman / supervisors have more than 400 years combined piling experience. Many of Piling Contractors personnel have worked overseas and hence we are able to draw upon a considerable pool of international experience from countries such as the United Kingdom, Hong Kong, Thailand and Germany.
