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.
