Franki pile

The Franki pile is a driven, cast-in-situ concrete displacement pile with an enlarged base in dry concrete and a cylindrical shaft.

Construction sequence

Fields of application

• Optimal geotechnical behaviour

• Designed to safely withstand very high tensile and compressive forces

• To reduce the part of the pile to be cut off, the execution of non-concreted lengths is possible

• Industrial projects and infrastructural works.

Environmental impact

• No soil removal (soil displacement pile)

• Limited vibrations since driving is done with an internal free-fall hammer

• Limited noise pollution since driving is performed with an internal free-fall hammer

• A stable, dry and flat work platform is required.
