Our services

Pile driving, pre-drilling
& pull-out testing services.

Focused support for solar developers, EPC contractors and civil construction teams across Ireland.

01

Utility-scale solar

Solar pile driving

Driven steel posts for ground-mounted photovoltaic systems, installed to project-specific layouts, positioning and installation requirements.

  • Solar mounting structure posts
  • Pile extraction and rectification where required
↗
02

Roads & civil infrastructure

General ramming

Post driving for road and civil works, including barrier, fencing and other driven-post applications, subject to project specifications and ground conditions.

  • Roadside and infrastructure projects
  • Scope and access reviewed before mobilisation
↗
03

Challenging ground conditions

Pre-drilling

Pre-drilling where ground conditions prevent conventional pile installation. A practical response to refusals and difficult ground on Irish projects.

  • Targeted support for pile installation
  • Method agreed against ground and design requirements
↗
04

Foundation verification

Pull-out tests

On-site testing to assess pile resistance against the project engineer’s specified criteria. Test scope, loading requirements and reporting are agreed before works begin.

  • Trial pile and installed pile testing
  • Results to support engineering review
↗

Built for site delivery

The first stage.
A lasting impact.

Piling sets the pace for everything that follows. We work alongside site teams to align the scope, installation sequence and project safety requirements before the machines arrive.

Discuss your programme
  1. 01 / Review

    Understand the ground & scope

    Share the pile layout, ground information, quantities and design requirements. We review the proposed works and site constraints.

  2. 02 / Plan

    Align crews, plant & programme

    Agree access, sequencing, safety requirements and equipment allocation, subject to project needs and availability.

  3. 03 / Deliver

    Install, test & coordinate

    Carry out the agreed works in coordination with your site team, with inspection and testing requirements defined for the project.

Planning your works

Solar piling in Ireland:
common questions.

Practical information for developers, EPC contractors and civil construction teams preparing a piling enquiry.

What is solar ramming or pile driving?

Solar ramming drives steel posts into the ground to support mounting structures for ground-mounted solar panels. Post positions, embedment and installation requirements follow the project drawings and specifications.

When is pre-drilling needed for solar piles?

Pre-drilling may be needed where ground conditions prevent conventional driving or a post reaches refusal. The ground information and project design determine whether pre-drilling is suitable and how the installation method should be agreed.

What does a pile pull-out test check?

A pull-out test assesses how a pile resists extraction under specified loads. The project engineer defines the test method and acceptance criteria. Share the required loads and test specification with your enquiry.

How many posts can Proseed install per day?

Indicative capacity is up to 600 posts rammed per day or up to 300 posts pre-drilled per day. These are separate capacities. Ground conditions, pile specifications, access and the agreed scope affect actual daily output.

Do you provide ramming services throughout Ireland?

Proseed offers nationwide project coverage in Ireland using its own fleet of four dedicated ramming machines. Mobilisation and equipment allocation depend on project requirements and availability.
