Contig Piles
Piled Walls
We can construct piled walls either as a 'Continuity' (Contig) or 'Secant' application.
Prime examples would be boundary retaining walls (minimum ground disruption), basement wall constructions, temporary construction shoring or ground stabilisation.
DW Clayfield can construct your piled walls.
Contiguous Wall Piles
Piles are installed in a sequence determined by boring conditions. The wall is not watertight and measures may be required to prevent fines wash-out between the piles.
Each pile is reinforced with a cage, designed to resist bending moments and shear.
Different pile diameters are available from DW Clayfield, please enquire.
Secant Wall Piles
Secant Wall Piles Alternate female piles are formed using a slow-gain (soft) concrete mix. The installation sequence is normally to install 1 pile every other 3 piles.
After a sufficient curing period (2-4 days) and once each alternate pile is formed, the reinforced 'male' piles are installed using a standard (hard) concrete mix. The male and female piles are designed to overlap.
The secant between male and female piles ensures that water movement and fine wash-out is prevented. The interlocking secant wall is not fully watertight; however water flow is greatly reduced. Similar pile sizes and retained heights to contiguous piling can be offered.
