End Plug

End plugs are the standard pile-caps for non-grouted piles.

Rock Point

Rock points are an alternative to end plugs if the non grouted piles are driven through a harder material, e.g. weathered rock

Grout Shoe

Grout shoes are used if a grouted pile is installed. Grout shoes have a bigger diameter than the pile, creating an annulus around the pile which enables the placement of fine-aggregate concrete over the full length of the pile shaft.

Coupler

Couplers can be used if two short pile sections must be connected in the place of the standard spigot and socket joint, e.g. if piles are driven in limited head room applications where the pile sections have to be cut.

Pipeline Saddle

The pipeline saddle enables the DYWIDAG Ductile Iron Pile to be used as a support to pipelines in poor ground. The saddle provides uniform support for five pipe diameters from 7.8 to 19.6 in.

Bearing Plate

The bearing plate is the standard fitting for compression piles. A center hole in the plate is required to fix the plate horizontally with a dowel, to ensure correct allignment when casting the pile cap or beam.

Dimensions

Notes:

• End Plugs and Rock Points are specific to the wall thickness of each pile section.
• Grout Shoes fit over the outside of the pile end. 200mm dia (7.787 in.) shoe fits both 118/7.5 and 118/9.0 pipes, 250mm dia. (9.84 in.) shoe fits both 170 pipes.
• Coupler features a tapered internal bore at both ends, together with a center stop. Couplers are also used to connect field cut (off-cut) pipe sections or as a connection to the hammer shank. Note that the spigot ends of the pipe sections should be removed, to ensure full engagement against center stop.
