Precast Concrete Piles

Precast piles exert extra strength to resist bending moment during pile pick up, transportation, vertical loads, and bending moment as a result of lateral loads.

MAIN LONGITUDINAL REINFORCEMENT is designed for lifting, handling and pitching.  It is also been taken into consideration for contributing to the axial load capacity.

LATERAL REINFORCEMENT in the form of links is provided to prevent shattering or splitting of pile during driving.



Material Specification :




General considerations when choosing a pile type :

• Poor quality of upper soil layer
• Costly soil in construction site
• To withstand lateral loads (horizontal)
• To withstand uplift forces
• Bridge abutment and piers

Types of Pile Shoes :


 FLAT SHOE 

 POINTED SHOE 

                                             * The type of pile shoe selected depend on driving and soil conditions.
