Types of Steel Piling
H-Piling
First, steel H-piling are bearing piles that are required in deep foundation projects when the existing foundation is too shallow.
Sheet Piling
Second, sheet piles are long, structural sections designed to create a continuous wall.
Pipe Piling
Third, pipe piles are cylinder shaped piles with improved friction that can be filled with stiffening agents.
Piling Advantages
Notably, piling offers the deep foundation industry numerous advantages over other material types. These include:
- Steel piling supports very large load design such as bridges or skyscrapers
- Cost-effective
- Installed as a single length or spliced together for deep projects
- Reduces the amount of time at the construction site
- Piling properties and mechanicals are controlled, standardized, and well known prior to pile driving
Steel Piling Applications
By all means, piling is ideal for the deep foundation projects across North America. In fact, without deep foundations, these applications would not be possible without piling. Applications include:
- Bridges
- Buildings
- Factories
- Stadiums
- Lagging walls
- Marine structures
- Earth retention for retaining walls and sound walls
