Wide Range of Deep Foundation Steel Piles and Their Uses

We all are aware of the Deep Foundation –it transfers building loads to the earth farther down from the surface. The Deep foundation pile works well under poor soil conditions or huge design loads, or site constraints.

Read on as we describe different types of piles:

• Bearing piles

• Friction piles

• Sheet piles

• Anchor piles

• Batter piles

• Fender piles

• Compaction piles

Bearing piles: Bearing piles support vertical loads. We use Steel sections as bearing piles where soil and ground situations restrain the use of shallow foundations.

Advantages of bearing piles are:

• Limit the bearing capacity by measurement of the refusal at driving.

• A secure link with the superstructure

• Instant loading after driving.

• Great durability

• Easy installation

The services include - Bearing Piles, Pile Testing, Pile foundation, Pile testing services, and much more.

Friction piles: Friction pile uses the frictional resistance force between the pile surface and nearby soil to transfer the superstructure load. If you need a stable foundation condition, the friction force must be suitable to support the superstructure.

Sheet piles: Sheet piles form a differential surface level in earth retaining structures. These have a vertical interface and can be used for both temporary and permanent holding walls. Structures comprise basements, underground car-parks, and more.

The advantages of steel sheet piles are:

• Quicker Construction is for reinforced concrete walls.

• They are recommended for all soil types.

• Not essential to excavate for wall foundations.

• They come with immediate load-carrying capacity.

Anchor piles: Anchor piles transfer both compressive and tensile forces along with bending bits to the ground. This feature makes them perfect as anchors for tunnels, basements, and more.

Batter piles: Batter piles carry lateral loads essentially in axial compression or tension. They have a higher capacity and have been used a standard means for carrying lateral loads, mainly when the lateral loads were massive, especially during weak soils at the ground surface.

Fender piles: Fender piles are used to guard waterfront structures from the abrasion or impact from the ships (when tied up at the desk).

Compaction piles: Compaction Piles can improve ground stability along with multiple other features such as preventing liquefaction, reducing settlement. The procedure involves pushing a hollow steel pipe into the ground, thereby enhancing soft grounds.

Some companies offer numerous foundation pile fabrication types, methods, and techniques that are not only cost-effective but are long-term effective also.
