Steel Cased Driven Piles
So, What Is Steel Cased Driven Piling?
A clean and robust solution for deep foundation piling. Steel cased driven piling involves driving short sections of thin walled steel tubes (casings) deep into the ground with an internal drop hammer. Once the pile is installed to depth, the hollow casing is filled with concrete and reinforcement, creating a solid, load-bearing foundation.
How We Solve Your Problems
✅ Unstable or Variable Ground?
Steel cased piles perform well in soft, variable soils — giving you a dependable solution with minimal waste.
✅ Tight Deadlines or Busy Sites?
Our driven method is quick to install and does not generate any spoil — these piles do not need the curing time associated with other methods before they are cut down to level.
✅ Piling Around Tree Roots?
The steel casing acts as a barrier between the wet concrete and the surrounding root network - these piles can also be positioned to miss large root systems for minimal impact to the tree.
✅ Not Sure Where to Start?
We’ll guide you from the first site visit to final installation — with clear advice, straight answers, and solutions tailored to your project.

Frequently asked
questions
What type of projects benefit from using Bottom Driven Steel Cased Piles?
These piles are ideal for projects in restricted-access or noise-sensitive areas, such as urban or residential sites, due to their low-vibration installation process.
How is concrete used within the Bottom Driven Steel Cased Pile?
Concrete is poured into the steel casing after it is driven to the required depth, filling the pile from the bottom up to create a solid, load-bearing foundation.
Why is a reinforcement cage added to the pile?
A reinforcement cage is inserted into the pile to enhance its structural integrity and load-bearing capacity, particularly to handle bending and shear stresses.
What are the advantages of using this piling method over others?
Bottom Driven Steel Cased Piles offer low noise and vibration, making them suitable for sensitive environments, and they provide reliable load capacity in various soil types.
How deep can Bottom Driven Steel Cased Piles be installed?
They can typically be installed to depths of up to 20 meters, depending on soil conditions and project requirements.
