Pile foundations are a type of deep foundation used in construction. They are formed by long, slender, columnar elements typically made from steel or reinforced concrete, which are driven into the ground. Pile foundations are used to transfer the load of a structure to a suitable bearing stratum at a considerable depth below the surface. They are used in a variety of applications, including bridges, buildings, and offshore structures.
Pile foundations are typically used when the soil at the surface is too weak or compressible to support the structure, or when the structure is located in an area with a high water table. They are also used to resist lateral loads, such as those caused by wind or seismic activity.
The pile foundation market is highly competitive, with a number of companies offering a range of products and services. These include manufacturers of pile foundations, suppliers of materials, and contractors who specialize in the installation of pile foundations.
Some of the major companies in the pile foundation market include Hayward Baker, Keller Group, Aarsleff Ground Engineering, and Bachy Soletanche. Show Less Read more
