At Kreate Sverige AB, we have extensive experience in foundation work. We perform all types of foundation tasks, whether it’s slender steel pipe piles for a house, large bored pipe piles for a bridge or building, special drilling in water, or tieback anchoring of sheet piles or wind turbines.
We have a modern and purpose-built fleet of equipment, along with well-trained, experienced, and dedicated personnel.
We carry out projects involving:
Pile foundation
- Driven piles made of steel, concrete, and wood for the foundations of houses, bridges, industrial, and energy facilities.
- Bored piles ranging in size from 30 to 1540 mm. Suitable where geotechnical conditions do not allow driven piles, where high tolerance is required, or where impact on the surrounding area must be minimized.
- Steel core piles with high load capacity, suitable for both compression and tension loads.
- Testing of installed piles through PDA measurements, inclinometer readings, pull-out tests, etc., to validate the pile’s load capacity.
Tieback anchors
- Self-drilling anchors as a complement to piles, tiebacks for sheet piles, and anchoring in foundations. Available with corrosion protection for marine and exposed environments.
- Strand anchors, for example for wind turbines, sheet piles, dams, etc. Strand anchors come in a wide range of sizes, making them suitable for high loads such as in wind turbines.
- Solid anchors installed in rock, between sheet piles, or as quay wall anchors. Available with corrosion protection for marine and exposed environments.
- Testing; All types of testing required to meet the specified standards (SS-EN 1537, SS-EN 14199, etc.).
Sheet pile structures
- Vibrated / driven sheet piles using various profiles for different types of sheet piling, such as for excavation trenches, basement construction, deep foundations, quay walls, etc.
- Soldier piles (Berlin-type sheet piles, bored or driven) are installed where geotechnical conditions do not allow for vibrated or driven sheet piling. Bored piles can handle challenging soil conditions and have relatively low environmental impact; they can also be partially installed into rock.
- Bored pipe wall (RD/S-Wall) is used when a watertight bored sheet pile wall is needed in difficult soils and environments; it can be installed into rock.
- Steelwork; All types of steel fabrication required by the structure are performed, such as wales, anchor sleeves, struts, embedded items, top plates, etc. We also conduct testing (magnetic particle inspection, X-ray, material tests, etc.) and prepare WPS and WPQR for our work.
Special drilling
- Down-the-hole drilling for clean rock holes, e.g., for wire sawing, anchor installation in rock caverns, etc.
- Precision drilling for cable routing and other installations with high accuracy and precision requirements.
- Reaming of precision holes, shafts, existing rock holes, etc.
Design
- Development of sheet pile structures
- Dimensioning of piles and anchors
- Preparation of inspection plans, technical reports, and design memos.
