PROUDLY SUPPORTING CLL GROUP For private homeowners, particularly those with properties on coastal slopes, CLL Service & Solutions offers specialised solutions, including soil nails and rock anchors to stabilise slip faces. Kylie says this work is becoming more prevalent with climate change accelerating, and homeowners increasingly facing risks to their properties. The company established its Christchurch branch in 2012, bringing with it innovative techniques such as rammed aggregate piers (RAPs), an intermediate foundation system providing superior support capacity, increased bearing capacity, and settlement control. This technology has proven particularly valuable in Christchurch’s post-earthquake reconstruction. “RAPs are an excellent option when the shear strength of the soil is insufficient to support a building, but is still greater than 35kPA,” explains Kylie. “The combination of densification, stiffness, and friction mitigates the risk of liquefaction in sandy and silty soils.” CLL Service & Solutions has used Geopier ground-improvement techniques to mitigate liquefaction risk in approximately 200 sites around New Zealand. The company is licensed to use this patented technology from USA company Geopier. Another technique in its arsenal is continuous flight augering (CFA), used to create deep concrete foundations. “The CFA technique is significantly quicker than other piling methods,” says Kylie. “In a 500-pile project, for example, CFA might allow us to put in 20 a day. Other standard methodologies, using casing for example, you’ll be lucky to do four a day. CFA can significantly lower the price of piling.” The company maintains a high standard of safety on all projects, and employs an experienced full-time health and safety team. It has ISO accreditation and has completed pre-qualifications for companies such as Kiwi Rail, Electrix, Auckland Council, Auckland Transport, SiteWise, Fulton Hogan and ISNetworld. Kylie says CLL Service & Solutions attributes its success to high levels of staff engagement and extremely low staff turnover. It operates an employee-based share scheme, which has helped it retain a highly experienced team genuinely invested in the quality of their work. As it continues to expand across New Zealand, the company plans to build on its reputation for innovation and outstanding service to its diverse customer base. “We will always cater to small as well as large clients,” says Kylie. “We started from small beginnings and offering services to smaller clients so we will never forget that.”
