I have expertise in designing and constructing pile foundations for various projects. Pile foundations are deep foundation systems used to transfer structural loads to deeper, more stable soil layers when surface soils are weak or unsuitable for supporting heavy loads.
Types of pile foundations I work with include:
Driven piles: Pre-manufactured (concrete, steel, or timber) piles driven into the ground to reach a stable stratum.
Bored piles: Holes are bored into the ground and filled with concrete, suitable for urban areas where noise and vibration must be minimized.
Screw piles: Large steel screws installed by hydraulic machinery, ideal for quick installations and emergency repairs.
Sheet piles: Interlocking steel or concrete sections used for retaining walls and soil/water containment.
Composite piles: Combining materials (such as steel and concrete) for extra strength, often in marine or bridge foundations
