Mini Piling Contractors Hertsfordshire

Piled retaining walls usually employ auger bored piling techniques - normally CFA or rotary bored. These techniques provide special advantages where available working space dictates that basement excavation faces be vertical. Both methods offer technically effective and cost efficient solutions of creating a piled retaining wall. When used in permanent works, these walls can be designed to accommodate vertical loads in addition to horizontal forces. Construction of both methods is the same as for foundation bearing piles. Contiguous walls are constructed with small gaps between adjacent piles. The size of this space is determined by the nature of the soils.

Secant piled walls are constructed such that space is left between alternate 'female' piles for the subsequent construction of 'male' piles. Construction of 'male' piles involves boring through the concrete in the 'female' piles in order to key 'male' piles between them. The male pile is the one where steel reinforcement cages are installed, though in some cases the female piles are also reinforced.
