THE NATIONAL TRUST
Displacement pile solutions
RBL offers a range of displacement pile solutions including Driven Precast Concrete Piles, Driven Steel Tubular Piles, as well as cast in situ options such as Continuous Helical Displacement (CHD) Piles, Continuous Helical Auger Displacement (CHAD) Piles and Continuous Displacement Auger (CDA) Piles. The solutions are more significantly more sustainable in comparison to our replacement pile solutions as they generate minimal spoil significantly reducing the number of lorry movements to and from site, lowering carbon emissions. Our Driven Steel Tubular Piles are made up of steel casings sourced as waste from the oil and gas industry.
RBL’s CHD piles can often be shorter than Continuous Flight Auger (CFA) piles while still achieving the same structural performance. Shorter piles not only reduce concrete usage and associated carbon emissions but also contribute to faster installation and lower overall project costs.

Electric Forklift Fleet
We have replaced our diesel forklift fleet with zero-emission electric vehicles.
Green Tariff
Through our Group Energy Procurement Policy, all our energy supplies are via ‘Green Tariffs’ across all our managed business units.
HVO Fuel
We now supply only HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil) fuel from our bulk tanks to power our piling, ground improvement and mini piling rigs, as well as our onsite forklift trucks.
Electric company cars
As part of our commitment to reducing carbon emissions, RBL offers employees the option to choose electric company vehicles. This initiative supports cleaner travel, lowers our overall environmental impact, and empowers our team to contribute to a more sustainable future.
We’re proud to support improvements at Albert Village Lake and the Princess Diana Memorial Woodlands, right near our HQ in Swadlincote. By helping fund path repairs and flood prevention, we’re making this much-loved site safer and more accessible for schools, families, and volunteers.
