Driven precast concrete pile
Construction sequence
)
Fields of application
• Ideal solution for cost-effective piling in homogeneous geotechnical conditions and for carrying low to medium loads
• Extensive preliminary soil investigation is required in order to determine both the nature and the behaviour of the layers of soil
• Wide range of applications
• Given the prefabrication and the delivery time of the precast piles, the pile must be dimensioned depending on the definitive pile load and the soil conditions before execution
• Adequate solution for soil profiles with very weak resistances in the upper strata, where excess use of concrete can be expected when installing cast-in-situ piles
Environmental impact
• A pile driving permit is requested
• Causes noise pollution
• No soil removal (soil displacement pile)
• A stable, dry and flat work platform is required, also accessible for freight traffic (the piles manufactured in the factory are delivered on site)
