Why it matters here

Bored piers inspections on Marsden Park builds

Piers appear on Marsden Park lots where the footing must reach through fill or softer ground to bearing the engineer will accept. The depth is the entire exercise and it is the one dimension that cannot be verified once concrete is in, so the inspection sits between boring and the truck.

What we find at this stage in Marsden Park

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

FAQ

Bored piers inspections in Marsden Park: common questions

What is the on site duration?

Under an hour on an ordinary lot, more where the pier count is high.

And if the bore falls short of depth?

We put the measured figure beside the required one. Proposing the remedy is for the builder and their engineer.

Will you certify the footings?

No. Observations go against the engineering, and certifying is an engineer's role.

Is standing water an issue?

Potentially, because concrete poured into water ends up weaker at the base. Recording it means it gets pumped.

How early should I get in touch?

A day is enough. Boring and filling piers frequently happens within a two day window.

What documents should I provide?

Your lot engineering, setting out pier depths, diameters and positions.
