Displacement Piles
This piling system has recently been introduced by GeoCiv Group into the Southern African region. Its well-established track record in other parts of the world has shown it to be a fast and economical piling methodology with no vibrations and limited noise levels. It has overcome many of the limiting features of the CFA pile and exhibits equivalent pile performance to a driven pile.
Positive Features
- High production levels are attainable in suitable soil conditions
- The system provides an economical solution in suitable soil profiles
- The soil displacement technology delivers good pile performance at significantly shallower depths to CFA and bored piles
- Noise levels are low and limited to the engine noise of the piling rigs
- The system is vibrationless
- The pile shaft can be reinforced over its full length using a variation to the normal installation methodology
- Pile load capacity can be ensured on each pile by monitoring the installation energy
- No soil removal is required with the soil displacement technology
