Concrete piling and other types piling experts in Saudi Arabia
Piling is a vital foundation system used to support structures by transferring loads to deeper, more stable soil layers. There are several types of piling, including concrete, steel, and timber piles. Concrete piles are often pre-cast or poured in place and provide high durability and strength. Steel piles, which can be either driven or used as drilled shafts, offer excellent load-bearing capacity and are resistant to soil corrosion. Timber piles, typically made from treated wood, are a cost-effective option for lighter structures and in areas where soil conditions are favorable. Other specialized forms of piling, such as helical and auger piles, are used in scenarios requiring specific engineering solutions to address site conditions or environmental concerns. Each type of piling is selected based on project requirements, soil characteristics, and load-bearing needs.
Secant piling
Secant piling is a foundation construction technique that involves the installation of concrete piles in a overlapping pattern to form a continuous retaining wall or to support structures in challenging soil conditions. The process typically consists of drilling a series of overlapping boreholes, which are then filled with reinforced concrete to create a robust barrier. This method is particularly effective in areas with weak or unstable soil, as it provides both lateral support and a water-tight barrier, making it suitable for various applications such as excavation support, tunnel construction, and damp-proofing. Secant piles can be designed to accommodate various loads and environmental conditions, offering a reliable solution for deep foundation projects.
Bored piling
Bored and cast in situ piling is a deep foundation construction method used to create vertical piles by drilling a borehole into the ground and then filling it with concrete on-site. This technique involves using a drill to excavate material from the ground and form a cylindrical hole, which is often reinforced with steel rebar to enhance structural integrity. Once the hole is adequately prepared, concrete is poured directly into it, resulting in a pile that is effectively integrated with the surrounding soil. This method is particularly advantageous for sites with restricted access or where vibrations may affect nearby structures, as it generates minimal disturbance during the installation process. Bored and cast in situ piling is commonly employed in various construction projects, including building foundations, bridges, and retaining walls.
