Process platform foundations, Longford gas plant
86 bored piers from 900 mm to 1,500 mm diameter, socketed into rock for a process platform extension at a Gippsland gas plant. Delivered inside the operator's shutdown window.
A process platform extension at a major Victorian gas plant required 86 bored piers from 900 mm to 1,500 mm diameter, drilled to depths between 12 and 28 metres and socketed into competent rock for the heavier pad locations.
We mobilised two heavy rotary rigs and one rock-augering setup, working inside the operator’s planned shutdown window. Founding stratum was logged per pier by our geotech, cages were dropped to design and concrete placed via tremie where ground water dictated.
A complete chartered-engineer certification pack — pour records, cage drop sheets, founding logs and AS 2159 sign-off — was handed across the day the last pier was poured. Zero impact to plant operations and zero variations to schedule.
The work had to land inside a tight shutdown window with zero impact to operations. VIC PILING ran two rigs around the clock when needed and handed over a tier-1 cert pack the day they finished.
