Construction & Built Environment

Leading piling & foundation contractors in Singapore

Every building in Singapore starts underground, and the ground is difficult: soft marine clay, reclaimed land, and sites hemmed in by existing structures and rail tunnels. That makes foundation work a registered specialist trade — bored piling, driven piling, diaphragm walling and the earth-retaining and strutting systems that hold a deep excavation open while the basement is built. The piling and foundation contractors in Singapore below include the largest listed local group, the Singapore arms of the global specialist-foundation contractors, and the bored-pile and temporary-works specialists working beneath them. An unranked set from the Singapore Industry Index's record.

The companies

  1. Antara Koh

    An established foundation-engineering, civil and marine contractor: self-performs bored piling, driven piling and earth-retaining works, with a marine and civil arm undertaking jetties, bridges and prestressed concrete, and ERSS and strutting. Structural building-steel scope is secondary to its civil, marine and piling work. ISO 9001/14001.

  2. Asia Piling Co

    A bored-piling and foundation specialist (roots in Progress Piling) claiming a top-three Singapore market position; capabilities include bored piling, ERSS, soil-improvement works, pile extraction and pile load-testing (static kentledge and rapid testing to around 6,000 tons).

  3. Bachy Soletanche Singapore

    The Singapore arm of the Soletanche Bachy group (VINCI), a long-standing local operator. Core specialism in diaphragm walls (including the Hydrofraise cutter for deep, hard-ground panels), ground engineering and tunnelling; a long MRT station and tunnel track record (Bugis, Orchard, Riviera, Tanjong Rhu).

  4. Bauer Foundations Singapore

    The Singapore entity of the German Bauer Group, a global specialist-foundation and geotechnical contractor. Method range spans bored and cutter-soil-mixing diaphragm walls, large-diameter bored piling and ground improvement; Bauer also supplies the drilling rigs used across the local market.

  5. CSC Holdings Limited

    The largest listed piling and foundation group in Singapore, around 1,500 staff across Singapore and Malaysia. Self-performs large-diameter bored piles, diaphragm walls, ground improvement, driven piles, jack-in piles and micro piles, plus soil investigation, pile testing, instrumentation and tunnel monitoring.

  6. Foundation Alliance

    A bored-pile specialist sub-contractor describing itself as a leading foundation and geotechnical service provider: bored, secant and contiguous bored piles and soldier piles.

  7. Kori Holdings

    An SGX Catalist-listed, BCA-registered licensed Specialist Builder in structural steelworks (steel struts for excavation) and in piling works, ground support and ERSS, plus tunnelling and TBM support. A strong niche in strutting and earth-retaining systems for deep-excavation and MRT works.

  8. Ley Choon Group Holdings

    An SGX-listed infrastructure group whose scope includes pipe-jacking, micro-tunnelling and foundation and utility works alongside roadworks and asphalt. Foundation and piling is one line within a broader civil-infrastructure business rather than a pure-play piling specialist.
