Driven Pile Products

The pile material is factory quality centrifugally-cast ductile iron, with decades of proven success in all underground applications. The DUKTEC cast iron material has excellent tenacity, ductility, strength, and corrosion resistance properties.

The individual pipe sections, 5 metres in length and outside diameter of either 118 mm or 170 mm, are joined together using an incredibly fast and unique ‘Plug and Drive’ connection system.

The length of each pile can be adapted to the actual ground conditions. The upper most pile section is finally cut with a standard grinder and then fitted with its own driving shoe for use as the first section for the next pile, thereby minimizing waste.

End-bearing piles are filled with concrete/grout after driving creating a continuous load bearing structural member.

3. Less risks - safer working method & safer equipment, less labour intensive; AND pile depths extremely flexible to suit ground conditions therefore less risk of failure to reach depth of competent founding material.
4. High load carrying capacity by reduced size pile and materials - installation verified over 30 years of experience.
5. Low vibrations & small soil displacement enables pile installation adjacent to existing buildings.
6. Additional programme and cost savings – no substantial piling platform has to be prepared prior to piling works ; AND substructure may proceed immediately after piling works are completed.
7. 100 years service life, shock and anti-corrosion resistant.
8. High quality factory standard materials, 100% recycled.
