Concrete piles are the most commonly used foundation elements, which are extremely well suited for situations with primarily compressive loads. They are, also often used in deep building pits whren tensile loads occur during the construction phase. Concrete piles are relatively cheap to produce and can be used in various shaft dimensions and lengths. VSF specialises in the larger dimensions. VSF has various piling rigs for the installation of concrete piles on land and in the water, To reduce the noise during hammering we can provide our hammer with noise reduction systems. The piles can be installed vertically or inclined. Predrilling is also in house avaiable to reduce vibrations and risk of early refusal.
In situations where the piles are mainly subjected to compressive loads and vibrations are not an issue.
Pile-driving produces noise and vibrations, which can cause problems for the surrounding area.
Stratification of the soil can be a problem with a view to tensile stresses during pile-driving.
