Post Grouted Piles (And
Barrettes)
|
|
|
The main objectives of the development of piling methods during
the
past decades have been the design and construction of piles with greater capacities.
The implementation of post grouting of bored piles came as a major
breakthrough in achieving this objective.
|
This unique concept enabled designers, consultants and
contractors worldwide to construct structures on piling foundations in a most efficient
and economic way.
|
Post grouting of piles results in a permanent increase
of skin friction and base resistance , this is caused by a
firm interlocking of the concrete of the pile shaft with the
surrounding soil and an immediate compaction of the soil immediately
around the shaft and the base of the pile.
