Introduction
Foundations provide support for structures,
transferring their load to layers of soil or rock that
have sufficient bearing capacity and
suitable settlement characteristics. There are a very
wide range of foundation types available, suitable for
different applications, depending on considerations,
such as:
▪ The nature of the load requiring support.
▪ Ground conditions.
▪ Cost.
▪ Accessibility.
Screw piles
Screw piles have a helix near the pile toe so they
can be screwed into the ground. The process and
concept is similar to screwing into wood.
Micropiles
Micropiles (or mini piles) are used where access is
restricted, for example underpinning structures
affected by settlement. They can be driven or
screwed into place.
Pile walls can be used to create permanent or
temporary retaining walls. They are formed by
placing piles directly adjacent to one another.
These can be closely-spaced contiguous pile walls
or interlocking secant pile walls, which depending
on the composition of the secondary intermediate
piles can be hard/soft, hard/firm or hard/hard
secant walls

Geothermal piles
Geothermal piles combine pile foundations with
closed-loop ground-source heat pump systems.
They provide support to a structure, as well as
acting as a heat source and a heat sink.
In effect, the thermal mass of the ground enables
the building to store unwanted heat from cooling
systems and allows heat pumps to warm the
building in winter. Generally, ground source heat
pumps extract heat from the ground by way of
underground pipes which are laid either
horizontally or vertically in the ground. In
geothermal piles, the pipe loops are laid vertically,
within the piles themselves.
Piling equipment
A wide range of equipment is available for piling,
