• Has a high water table;
• There are significant trees that must be protected and retained ***(see below)
• You are going to build adjacent to a heritage building or close to another building & there must be minimal or no disturbance or vibration with your project;
• You want to make use of a process that will have much less impact on the environment; less waste, MUCH less concrete, less equipment needed
• Also, once you have knowledge of the particulars of your site eg:
• You know that you will need to build a foundation of more than 900mm depth;
• You know that it will be difficult to estimate the quantity of concrete needed due to difficult site conditions eg collapsing trenches and this
• will mean the likelihood of a cost blow out resulting in an unhappy client - you should seek the services of Anchorpile.
