Why it matters here

Bored piers inspections on Oran Park builds

Piers appear on Oran Park lots where the footing has to reach through reshaped ground to something the engineer will rely on. Given the town sits on land that was a racing circuit until 2010, that is worth taking seriously: your soil report and engineering say what depth is required, and depth is the one dimension nobody can confirm after concrete.

What we find at this stage in Oran Park

  • Pier depth short of the engineering figure
  • Cage off centre so cover is uneven
  • Spoil or standing water in the base
  • Cage not seated at the bottom of the bore
  • Reinforcement unsupported before the pour

FAQ

Bored piers inspections in Oran Park: common questions

How long does it take?

Under an hour on a standard lot, longer where there are many piers or the site is awkward to move around.

And if a pier is not deep enough?

The measured figure sits beside the required figure in the report. The remedy is for the builder and their engineer to propose.

Do you certify the footings?

No. We record against the engineering; certification is an engineer's function and the report says where one is needed.

Does the old raceway change this?

It makes the soil report more worth reading than usual. Reshaped ground is exactly why an engineer may specify piers, and why the specified depth matters.

What notice suits you?

A day is enough. Piers are frequently bored and filled inside two days.

What should I send through?

Your lot's engineering with pier depths, diameters and positions, plus the soil report if you have it.
