Project Description
An adaptable foundation technique for complex project environments
Driven piles are installed by driving prefabricated elements into the ground using impact, vibratory, or press-in methods until the required depth or resistance is achieved. This installation process allows for real-time adjustment and verification, making driven piles well suited to variable soil conditions, high groundwater environments, and projects with tight schedules or site constraints.
Key advantages of Driven Piles
Versatility
Performs well in varied soil conditions, including soft soils and high water tables.
Cost & Time Efficiency
Fast installation with no curing time or soil removal, reducing overall project costs.
Proven Performance
On-site testing and natural set-up increase long-term load capacity and reliability.
Applications
Driven piles are commonly used in a wide range of applications in the commercial, industrial, infrastructure, and marine sectors. Typically used for permanent deep foundations under buildings, tanks, bridges and other structures, driven piles can also be used for pile-supported embankments, noise barrier walls, retaining walls, mooring structures and cofferdams. Driven piles can also be installed temporarily during construction to support and protect existing features such as slopes, structures or watercourses.
Quality Assurance and Execution
Soletanche Bachy Canada delivers driven pile solutions using specialized piling equipment and experienced installation teams. Installation methods are selected based on site constraints, noise and vibration limits, and environmental considerations to ensure safe, efficient, and compliant execution.
