About BRC Piling
& Foundations

Established Since 1988

BRC Piling & Foundations has forged a reputation for the design and delivery of high quality piling, retaining walls and foundation support systems over 35 years in operation.

Established since 1988 in Melbourne, Victoria, we have the financial, organisational and operational capacity to meet any site or project specific geotechnical challenge – metro, regional, remote or marine.

We have a long history of productive and proactive working relationships with our employees and peak Australian employee organisations. Our EBAs are registered with Fair Work Australia to ensure BRC Piling & Foundations is compliant with the Building Code 2016.

Purpose built to meet the needs of specialist piling and foundations work programmes, our company owned fleet of plant and equipment is regularly upgraded and meticulously maintained to exacting OEM, regulatory and client requirements.

BRC Piling & Foundations is privately owned, with a new management structure from 2018 following acquisition by Con Petropolous, founder and Managing Director of Delta Group.

Based in Port Melbourne, we operate across metropolitan Melbourne and regional Victoria, as well as interstate. We are fiercely proud of what we have achieved and why. Our people, plant and management systems are proven in all subsurface conditions, and our reputation for large open bored piling solutions involving up to 5m in diameter is second to none.
