ASP is expanding the traditional business of dewatering, sheet piling and anchoring to include drill foundations for large projects. In support of this move ASP Piling has recently acquired a Soilmec SR 40 rig.

This mid-sized CFA/ drill rig has recently been working on the Jewel towers project. For ASP, this three tower development has boasted all of the company products – steel sheet piles, ground anchors, dewatering, deep CFA compression piles and tension piles.

Safety Certification

With the addition of foundation piling to our product list, the time was right to invest in all our company systems. ASP Piling recently achieved certification to Australian standards AS4801 for safety. The progression of our investment into systems will see environmental and quality certification follow in due course.

Jewel – The story so far…

The Jewel Project on the Gold Coast is a $1 billion vote of confidence in the Gold Coast’s tourism, and the Queensland economy.

It is the largest development with direct beach access to be built on the Gold Coast in over 30 years. The Jewel Development incorporates 3 separate towers housing 512 Apartments and a fully serviced 6 star luxury hotel resort.

ASP’s works include the installation of over 750 lineal metres of sheet piles, 250m of contiguous wall CFA piles, over 800 anchors, ongoing dewatering of the site via the installation of deep wells & ASP dewatering systems, and more than 450 foundation piles.

ASP is proud to be working in conjunction with the world’s largest property developer, in the development of this signature global landmark.

In early August, ASP Piling and Australian Dewatering Systems got behind a worthy cause by becoming a sponsor of ‘The Buzzball Golf Day’ to raise much needed funds for the Australian Cystic Fibrosis Research Trust.

The event at The Glades Golf Course at Robina on the Gold Coast has raised close to $50,000 since its inception in 2011, thanks to the close support of Gold Coast businesses and donations.

The day went exceptionally well, with the weather holding out and the golfing stories continuing into the night along with the raffle draw, auction and live band.

Every cent raised by the day helps to make a difference to families who are affected by this crippling disease, not only through research to find a cure, but also by enhancing the quality of life for the cystic fibrosis community.

ASP Piling’s recent $1.2 million purchase of a Bauer RTG-16 piling rig is ready to roll in the latest ASP livery.
The ‘Piling Anchoring Dewatering’ message makes clear that ASP covers all the bases in ground works.

Managing Director Patrick Buckley said the company’s decision to invest in the million dollar-plus rig reflects their confidence in the Australian construction market.

“It also allows us to keep up with growing demand for our services as we continue to work nationwide,” he said.

The new pile driver with telescopic leader on base carrier allows ASP to install up to 16 metre sheet piles and deliver larger CFA (continuous flight auger) piles.

The RTG-16 has a maximum mast height of 20.63 m, weighs 49.5 tonnes and produces 470 kW or 630 hp. The versatile German-made rig can adapt to a wide range of applications such as hydraulic vibrator, front of wall drilling, auger drilling, cutter soil mixing, sheet pile press, soil mixing wall system and single column mixing.
