Your One-Stop-Shop Piling Partner
With over 30 years in the piling industry, DFI has a wealth of experience working directly with engineering, procurement & construction management firms when it comes to their foundation system needs because we operate very much the same. Driven, helical, sheet. Design, supply, install. Concept to cap, start to finish, we continue to successfully deliver one-stop-shop solutions for large-scale projects to some of Australia’s most trusted names like Monadelphous, Clough, GPA Engineering & Wood.
Not only can we handle your build requirements, our in-house engineering team can also do the design work for you. We understand that having the proper documentation – including inspection test plans (ITPs) with minimal requests for information (RFIs) – prepared in a timely manner, is essential. Once drawings are issued, we get to work right away to complete the project on time and on budget.
They Say Can’t, We Say Watch Us!
Our toolbox is big! We never say “no”; we find a way. If the job seems impossible, contact DFI. We’ve developed a track record as the go-to experts because of our experience, knowledge, and turnkey advantage.
“It’s effortless to work with us.” – Matt Meyer, DFI Australia Director
The earlier we become involved, the more effective we are at saving you time and money by optimizing your project schedule and reducing your material expenses.
Our proprietary purpose-built equipment is designed to operate in all environments including Australia’s rough terrain and harsh climates. Greenfield, brownfield, live facilities, embankments, rivers, infrastructure, etc. – consider it handled.
Why proprietary matters? By building our own equipment and having well-trained, experienced staff, we can fix any on-site problems, should they arise. This helps to ensure your project is completed on time and on budget. Additionally, we take pride in keeping our top-of-the-line fleet in peak working order so we are able to deploy and start jobs on time.

The DFI Advantage Watch What Only We Can Do...
Well Done!
Equipment direct mounted on driven steel piles is a novel foundation system method for the O&G industry in Australia resulting in substantial savings compared to traditional concrete.
With the goal of eliminating concrete, DFI has been very responsive providing steel driven piling foundations. They deliver quick, cost effective, safe solutions well suited to our needs.
Pile layout and installation planning was critical in order to avoid complex site manoeuvring. DFI offered smart solutions with their design, materials, equipment and personnel.
DFI’s steel pile foundation systems provide significant value in terms of time and cost savings. Design simplicity, installation speed and immediate placement of equipment in the field, mean foundations take weeks, not months, like concrete.
