Training and Support

Correct foundation and shoring techniques start with knowledge, technology and the right guidance.

Olivier provides comprehensive training and technical support for foundation contractors, machine manufacturers and engineers. We train people, from absolute beginners to experienced professionals, in piling and shoring techniques, combining theory and practice, advising on machinery and supporting the entire design process, from the initial calculation to the completed pile or deep excavation.

Design and engineering in collaboration with CloudPiling

Every foundation or shoring project starts with a well-considered design.

Olivier works for this purpose in collaboration with CloudPiling, a specialised end-to-end platform for the design and calculation of foundation and shoring structures.

Together with CloudPiling, we support clients in two ways:

• By preparing complete calculation reports.
• Through the CloudPiling end-to-end platform, which allows clients to design and calculate projects themselves. We also provide training and guidance for the use of the CloudPiling platform.

Technical support and machine advice

A good result starts with the right combination of technique, machine and tools.

Olivier supports clients in making the right choices, independently of brand or supplier. Based on our experience in foundation and shoring techniques, we translate the design into a correct and efficient technical setup.

Our support includes, among others:

• Advice on the appropriate machine concept in relation to foundation and shoring techniques
• Guidance in the selection of tools and equipment, such as auger heads, couplings, secant casings, drilling motors and vibratory hammers
• Support during project start-up and optimisation
• Technical guidance during test projects and initial sites
• Advice on site organisation
• Advice on logistics and transport
• Training and technical support for the maintenance and repair of tools and equipment used in foundation and shoring techniques
• …

Training in foundation and shoring techniques

We provide training for the execution of various foundation and shoring techniques, both theoretical and practical. These trainings focus on safety, quality and the efficient and correct application of machines, tools and techniques on site.

Training for everyone, worldwide

Our training programmes are suitable for both experienced foundation specialists and participants without prior knowledge. Through a structured approach, participants learn step by step how to correctly and efficiently apply foundation and shoring techniques using existing or new machines, including the proper use of tools and equipment. Operation of the machines themselves remains the responsibility of the operator and, where applicable, the machine manufacturer.

We always assess together with the client in advance whether a training programme is appropriate and feasible in the given context, taking into account the level of expertise, available machines, local conditions and the intended field of application.

Olivier provides training worldwide, adapted to local conditions, regulations and available machines. Our role is limited to training, guidance and knowledge transfer; responsibility for the execution of the works remains with the executing parties.

No execution, full guidance

Olivier acts as a knowledge and technology partner, not as an on-site contractor.

Olivier does not carry out foundation or shoring works itself. We focus on technology, knowledge transfer, training and technical support, enabling foundation contractors to realise their projects correctly, safely and efficiently.

Our guidance can take various forms, ranging from advice and training to technical support during start-up and test phases. Responsibility for the execution of the works always remains with the executing parties.
