"A Taranto team is often able to sink the first pile within two hours of arrival on-site."
 
Taranto De Pol is a leading provider of pre-cast driven concrete piles which make it possible for otherwise unsuitable land to be used for building operations.

We are well-known for the quality of our sectional piles which we manufacture from 50N concrete in stock lengths in one metre increments from 4 to 13 metres.

We can supply either completely plain piles with only a driving ring cast in at the driving end, or piles may incorporate machine-faced interlocking bayonet joints. These joints are as strong in bending, compression and tension as the pile itself. Joints allow speedy on-site extension of the pile to form the necessary pile length. Pile shoes are supplied to specification.

Dynamic Pile Testing
The purpose of dynamically testing the precast concrete piles is to determine its load characteristics. This is achieved by recording force and velocity data for each test pile and subsequently performing Case Method Assessments.
