Clay Pile
Specialist slip sleeve allows for movement
- Clay grips outer sleeve leaving pile stable
- Greater depth up to 10-12m augered piles to be drilled using lightweight hand manoeuvrable wheeled rig
- Small diameter (115mm) reduced waste
- Increased pile capacity up to 120kN
Shortly afterwards, we designed our Clay pile. An innovative solution for piles driven into clay. They enable the clay to grip a movement sleeve on the outside of the pile. While fully supporting the structure above, any clay can heave and haw as the moisture content changes without gripping onto the pile and adding further pressures.
