Our engineers have a wealth of experience and know how when it comes to piling and foundations and have collated a series of information sheets to address some of the most frequently asked questions.
Available in pdf format, take a look at the subject headings and let us know if we can send you any further information. Send your request by emailing tremayne@terradrive.ie or drop us a line on our contact us page.
Piling can be categorised into two main divisions:
1. REPLACEMENT piles are generally bored where the soil is excavated and replaced with concrete or grout.
2. DISPLACEMENT piles typically involve driving piles into the ground where the soil is displaced radially and vertically.
Combining precast concrete piling, precast concrete pile caps and precast concrete ground beams, manufactured under controlled factory conditions.
Advantages include:
Piles are available in a range of standard sizes from 200mm² to 300mm² and can accommodate load capacities of up to 1200kN per pile. Standard pile modules are reinforced over their whole length with a 4 bar cage – designed for the specific loading conditions required.
