PILED FOUNDATIONS

Unmatched Flexibility for Diverse Conditions

What is a piled foundation?

0000-PIL-1500.jpg

Driven steel piles are the most common form of foundation found in ground-mount solar installation. They are traditionally installed using a piling rig, but can be set into concrete if required. 

Our piles are all made using structural grade steel, with a range of thicknesses and coatings guaranteed to make installation stress free and stand the test of time.

To make sure we are as cost-effective as possible, we work with our customers and steel suppliers to adapt the material thickness and coatings, based on our geotechnical and topographical data, producing the highest quality product for the best possible price.
