Poole: Suttle Projects invests in ground-breaking equipment

Suttle Projects, the Poole-based civil-engineering specialist, has made its largest investment to date £500,000 in the latest Italian Casagrande B125 CFA piling rig. The rig is for use in contiguous and bearing-piling works and is believed to be the only one of its type based locally in the Poole and Bournemouth area. It is ideally suited to piling projects within property-development and bridge-construction works, as it can quietly drill piles up to 23 metres deep and 800m in diameter with minimum vibration.

Joe Paine, managing director of Suttle Projects, said: “Before we invested in this major piece of equipment, we had to hire the machinery from a fair distance away, making it a costly exercise.  Now we own the piling rig, we will be able to pass on the cost efficiencies to our clients.”

Suttle Projects is part of the Suttles group and employs 30 staff.  Founded in 2008, it offers both driven and augured piling systems for regional contractors and private clients across the United Kingdom.
