Precast detailsGeneral info:Precast Concrete Piles may be defined as a reinforced concrete pile, which is molded in circular, square, rectangular or octagonal form. The precast concrete piles are cast and cured in a casting yard and then transported to the site for driving. In case space is available, pile can also be cast and cured near the site of works. They are driven in a similar manner as piles with the help of pile driver. The diameter of the pile normally varies 1mm 35 cm to 65 cm and their length varies from 45 in to 30 m.
Advantages:• Cost saving compare to other types of
piling.• High load capacity and corrosion
resistanceDisadvantages:
• High breakage rates• Vulnerability to damage associated with
handling
Type of machine used: Pile Drive
A pile driver hammers a precast concrete pile into the ground. The pile is supported by the vertical structure of the pile driver and driven by heavy piston mechanism that follows it down the leads as it penetrates deeper into soil.
