The company performs geotechnical investigation, engineering, permit acquisition, pile installation (steel pipe piles, casing screw piles, driven piles, bored piles, hydraulic pressure piles), and concrete work for residential, commercial, and municipal clients. It executes projects in confined urban spaces and near monuments using proprietary vibration-free and low-vibration methods.

Product overview

Brefu Funderingstechnieken is a specialized foundation contractor offering a comprehensive suite of foundation techniques and repair services. The company operates as a single integrated service offering centered around foundation solutions, with core products including steel pipe piles (Stalen buispalen), casing bored piles (Casing draaipalen), driven piles (Heien), bored piles (Boren), and hydraulic pressure piles (Drukpers). These are complemented by concrete work (Betonwerk), complete foundation repair/restoration (Funderingsherstel), pile foundations (Paalfundering), basement construction (Kelderbouw), and Berlin walls (Berlinerwanden). The company maintains its own equipment fleet (HL1800, HL1200, HL750, ECO3, LeBoTec, HB65) enabling all work to be executed in-house. The portfolio is unified by the company's focus on vibration-free and vibration-armeel techniques suitable for urban environments, monuments, and confined spaces.

Products and services

• Stalen Buispalen (Steel Pipe Piles) In-ground formed, ground-displacing, and low-vibration pipe piles with permanent steel casing and welded base plate. Pile segments joined by electrical welding and filled with concrete upon reaching target depth. Used for new construction, extensions, renovations, and machine foundations.
• Casing Draaipalen (Casing Screw Piles) In-ground formed, ground-displacing, vibration-free screwed steel pipe piles with permanent casing and welded screw tip. Pile installed using combined rotation and pressure. Suitable for confined urban spaces; screw tip calibrated to load requirements and soil composition.
• Heien (Internal Driving / Pile Driving) Steel pipe piles driven internally using a falling weight block. The first pipe element contains a sand/gravel plug on which the driving block falls, with the pipe serving as guidance for the block. Used for foundation installation projects.
• Boren (Bored Piles) Casing bored piles built from steel pipe segments using a vibration-free system. Piles brought to correct depth through rotation and pressure, then filled with concrete and provided with head reinforcement.
• Drukpers (Hydraulic Pressure Pile System) 100% vibration-free and ground-displacing pile pressing system using hydraulic jacks that press piles into the ground. The existing structure serves as ballast. Suitable for foundation work near monuments and sensitive equipment where no vibration damage can be tolerated.
• Betonwerk (Concrete Work) Specialized concrete foundation services including basement construction under existing buildings, extensions, machine foundations, and special concrete work (exposed concrete). Includes both new installations and concrete work following pile installation.
• Funderingsherstel (Foundation Repair) Complete foundation restoration service including geotechnical soil investigation, engineering, permit applications, pile installation, and concrete work. Uses table construction method where existing ground floor is removed and new piles and concrete floor are installed. Primary offering for homeowners experiencing foundation problems.
• Paalfundering (Pile Foundation) Pile foundation installation using casing bored piles, steel pipe piles, and pressure piles. Foundation piles available in various diameters and can be installed to virtually any desired depth.
• Berlinerwanden (Berlin Walls) Steel sheet pile walls for excavation support and temporary earth retention.
