Whatever the load

STAND FIRM on WEST'S SHELL PILES

THE FOUNDATION OF STABILITY

Foundations incorporating West's Shell Piles are firm and rigid-for two main reasons. Firstly, thể pre-cast sectional outer shell is driven to a positive set in the load-bearing stratum. Secondly, the concrete core is cast in-situ̟ after driving is completed.

The consolidating effect of the positively

driven pile is therefore retained but there is no fatigue in the pile core.

Pile diameters are 15′′, 174′′ and 21′′

for loads up to approximately 50, 70 and 100 tons respectively, depending on length of pile and

strata conditions.
