SERVICES – DUCTILE IRON PIPE PILES

Case Atlantic partners with DSI America to offer a deep foundation solution for applications that require lighter axial loads and rapid production rates.

The DYWIDAG Driven Ductile Iron Pile is a driven pile system, utilizing high strength ductile cast iron pipe. Pile sections are connected together by a unique spigot and socket joint, which offers speed of connection together with a high degree of stiffness. The piles are installed in a quick succession using an excavator with a hydraulic hammer, to both pitch and drive each pile section.

Manufactured as Ductile Cast Iron, also known as Spheroidal Graphite Cast Iron, the system is immensely strong and offers superior durability over conventional tubular steel piles. Additional compressive strength is provided by the concreting or grouting of the bore, to form a composite pile. Installed as an End-Bearing Pile (dry driven to a set, followed by concreting of the bore) or a Skin Friction Pile (simultaneous drive and grout, with an oversized shoe), the Ductile Iron Pile can accommodate a range of different ground conditions.
