Lesson of the Week: Concrete Piling.

Concrete piling is a crucial component of modern construction. offering a foundation that bears the weight of massive structures. Surprisingly, these pillars are easy to install and they offer superb resistance against excess drainage — make them a popular choice for substructure support.

Lesson of the Week: Piling.

Piling is the process of drilling foundations through the ground to provide more structural strength to the weak soil underneath. Piling prepares the ground to carry heavy loads, such as a new home, office complex, road or another piece of infrastructure.

Lesson of the Week: Reinforcement Cages.

Reinforcement cages provide the structure with stiffness, allowing withstanding tension, bending, torque loads. Reinforcing cages are irreplaceable during production of reinforced concrete plates, reinforced walls, road building and in many other situationsThe compressive strength of the concrete is high, but the tensile strength is very low. It can restrain the concrete of pile body and make it bear certain axial tension.

A driven pile is a relatively long, slender column, provided to offer support or to resist forces, made of preformed material having a predetermined shape and size that can be physically inspected prior to and during installation, which is installed by impact hammering , vibrating or pushing into the earth.
Driven piles are the most favoured for works over water such as piles in wharf structures or jetties.
Driven piles maintain their shape during installation. They do not bulge in soft ground conditions and are typically not susceptible to damage from the installation of subsequent piles.
