Application
- Can be particularly applied in residential construction, commercial construction, and other new developments where disturbance to the surroundings needs to be minimized.
- Are suitable for urban renewal projects where low-vibration foundations are required near adjacent buildings or structures.
- Are an alternative to non-soil-displacing screw piles and grout injection piles, where released soil or grout severely contaminates the construction site or where released soil cannot or may not be removed.
- Suitable for underground construction. For example, parking garages, basements, and tunnel structures that need to be built from a higher level down.
- Generate less noise pollution than driven pile systems, making them applicable for the expansion of existing and in-use buildings.
- Are applicable in soil conditions or loads where the possibility of washing out a pile formed in the ground is considered realistic.
Characteristics
- Displaces soil, with only limited emerging drilling soil at the drill pipe and ground level.
- Low vibration, making it suitable for use near buildings that are sensitive to damage from settlements and/or vibrations.
- Noise-friendly, resulting in less disturbance to the surrounding area, and suitable for use near homes, schools, public buildings, etc.
- Pile head is suspended below the working level.
- Pile length can be directly adjusted to the soil conditions.
- Adjustments in pile specifications are possible up to the ordering moment of prefab elements.
- Batter piles available upon request and depending on the situation and pile length.
- Can be loaded both in tension and compression.
- Prestressed reinforcement over the entire length.
- The pile system is known and accepted by the Building and Housing Supervision service and engineers, as well as in Building Standards. Competitive compared to soil-removing and grout-injected piles due to soil-displacing execution, required bearing capacity, and a 'clean' construction site.
Vroom Funderingstechnieken has extensive experience with screw piles and provides advice on the application possibilities of this pile type and other screw pile systems.
Quality Control
Vroom Funderingstechnieken manufactures DPA-combi screw piles according to an implementation procedure drawn up for Vroom Funderingstechnieken within the framework of internal quality control, national standards, and execution conditions.
The grout is sourced from certified concrete plants. The prefab concrete elements are produced and supplied by certified manufacturers.
Verification of Geotechnical Bearing Capacity
The DPA-combi screw piles are inserted to the calculated drilling depth during soundings. The required drilling torque is measured to assess and recognize the existing soil strata.
Post-Production (Optional)
Through our own quality control, we can respond adequately to doubts about the pile quality or to client requests regarding the execution.
DPA-combi screw piles manufactured by Vroom Funderingstechnieken can be acoustically measured and subsequently assessed by an independent consultancy firm.
