ENGINEERING DESIGN

INTERNAL LOAD-BEARING CAPACITY

The system is adaptable to design requirements from varying depths to load magnitude up to 2300kN. It could be designed for both compression and tension as well lateral loading.

FLEXURAL STIFFNESS & MOMENT CAPACITY

The pile has significant flexural stiffness and moment capacity to resist lateral load. The pile can be installed at an inclined or raked angle to meet the design requirements.

MORE INFORMATION:

Can be designed as tension piles and raked piles in order to address uplift, alternating tension compression forces and lateral loads. Some tall structures like transmission towers, abutment, piers, submerged slabs are subjected to alternating tension-compression loading. Likewise, buoyant forces as well as eccentric forces would require tensile-resisting elements. As such, ductile iron piles could be employed in order to resist these loads.

  • Corrosion resistance

    Ductile iron stands out for its higher corrosion resistance compared to steel, a result of its higher carbon and silicon levels, along with the naturally occurring annealing skin created during manufacturing.

    For compression piles with shaft-grouting, the concrete provides a comprehensive corrosion protection on the pile.

    On the other hand, for pressure piles without shaft-grouting, a loss of the wall thickness due to corrosion must be taken into account and the design values must be adjusted accordingly
