Application
- Particularly suitable for residential and utility construction, and other new buildings where disturbance to the surrounding area needs to be limited.
- Suitable for urban renewal projects where foundations must be made vibration-free near adjacent buildings or properties.
- An alternative to non-soil-displacing screw piles where excavated soil severely contaminates the construction site or cannot be removed or disposed of.
- Causes less noise disturbance than driven pile systems, making them applicable for the expansion of existing and occupied buildings.
- Applicable in soil conditions or loadings where a long reinforcement cage is necessary, which can be centrally placed in the pile with the required coverage.
Features
- Soil-displacing, with only limited excavated soil.
- Low-vibration, therefore well-suited near adjacent structures sensitive to settlement and/or vibrations.
- Noise-friendly, resulting in less disturbance to the surroundings and suitable near residences, schools, public buildings, etc.
- Pile head is poured up to the working level and can be finished above the working level to the desired height.
- Pile length can be immediately adjusted to the ground conditions: the pile is typically installed to the calculated screw-in level.
- Adjustments in pile specifications possible until just before work commencement.
- Batter positions: backward 5:1 / forward 10:1.
- Loadable both in tension and compression.
- Pile system is low-vibration.
- Reinforcement possible along the entire length.
- Reinforcement is installed in the shaft before concreting.
- Bearing capacity factors assessed and established from load testing by the Building and Housing Supervision Netherlands committee.
- Competitive compared to soil-removing piles due to greater bearing capacity and a 'clean' construction site.
Vroom Funderingstechnieken has extensive experience with DPA screw piles and provides advice on the application possibilities of this pile type and other screw pile systems.
Quality Control
Vroom Funderingstechnieken manufactures DPA screw piles according to a procedure established for Vroom Funderingstechnieken as part of internal quality control, nationally applicable standards, and execution conditions.
Control of Geotechnical Bearing Capacity
DPA screw piles are typically installed to the calculated screw-in depth. The required drilling moment is measured for assessment and recognition of the existing soil conditions.
Control of Pile Technical Bearing Capacity
All DPA screw piles are checked for continuity after pile manufacturing. Additional inspection can visually occur after excavation of the pile head. The concrete quality can additionally be checked by drilling and testing cores from the manufactured piles.
