Piling services - contiguous pile walls
Contiguous pile walls consist of piles arranged in a line typically with a 150mm gap between the piles. Where required the soil between the piles can be stabilised using grouting techniques if necessary, either before or after pile installation. Common uses include the support of excavations, slope stabilisation, and supporting wing walls

Service details
Contiguous pile walls consist of piles arranged in a line typically with a 150mm gap between the piles. Where required the soil between the piles can be stabilised using grouting techniques if necessary, either before or after pile installation.
Typical applications
Support of excavations
Slope stabilisation
Support wing walls
Installation process
Contiguous pile walls can be retained by anchors or strutting systems to reduce deflection though commonly for walls up to 7-8 metres in height they are designed to work in cantilever.
Key benefits
Limited load from surrounding structures taken
Allows easier work in open excavations when in cantilever
