Residential and commercial buildings,
bridges, quays, industrial sites and
power plants: for more than a century,
clients and engineers from all over the
world have put their trust in – and their
structures on – FRANKI PILES. Due to the
versatility and enormous load-bearing
capacity of these driven “cast in place”
piles, the name FRANKI has now come to
mean so much more than just piles.
Invented in 1908 by Edgard Frankignoul,
a Belgian engineer, his technology proved
so successful that it became the founda-
tion for FRANKI Grundbau – a state of the
art civil engineering company specialising
in providing complex and comprehen-
sive solutions that go far beyond piling
technology.
We take pride in our traditions of inno-
vation and clear vision: We focus all our
activities on maximising success for both
our customers and ourselves. Regular
staff training allows us to consistently
extend our technical experience, enabling
us to optimise equipment, processes and
procedures, and to continuously improve
quality and performance. We have one
ultimate aim, to provide rock solid foun-
dations for your success
Safety requires experience –
we have more than 100 years of it.
Experts in deep foundations since 1908.
