Displacement Piles
Displacement piles are a type of deep foundation element that are used to support new foundations. The piles consist of cast-in-place grout or concrete with a central threaded bar and are constructed with a hollow steel displacement tool. The displacement construction process generates little to no excess spoils and is particularly advantageous on sites with contaminated soils. Displacement piles can function as end-bearing or side-friction elements. They can even be constructed with an expanded base to achieve higher geotechnical capacities, similar to pressure injected footings (PIFs).
