Piling – Success in Motion: Volume 1

In this webinar, our presenter, Michael Bugeja discusses how piles are the foundation of our built environment yet can be exposed to an extreme range of surroundings and load events.

Providing piled structures which can endure the conditions to which they are subjected to, requires sound knowledge of the ground conditions, a strong appreciation for the aggressivity of the site and adequate pile installation techniques which are appropriate for the pile type. Concrete offers a broad selection of suitable pile solutions for overcoming these challenges, from precast driven piles to cast-in-place bored piles. Combined with the long-term durability benefits offered by the right concrete specification – concrete piles are the foundation of choice in Australia today.

There are a wide range of piling techniques, deep foundation and embedded retaining wall solutions utilised in the Australian construction industry. This presentation will cover the main piling techniques available, their advantages and limitations and the appropriate ground conditions that these are applicable to.
