Advantages and Characteristics

  1. Offer a practical and cost-effective solution to costly alternative pile systems as well as a solution to job sites with difficult access.
  2. Continuous Thread
    • DYWIDAG THREADBAR ® has a continuous rolled-on pattern of thread-like deformations that allow full load couplers and anchorages to be easily positioned along the pile.
    • The pile length can be segmentally increased allowing access inside low head rooms areas.
    • Coarse thread remains threadable even if dirty or damaged.
  3. Easy Installation
    • Compact, lightweight drilling and installation equipment makes GEWI ® piles ideal for remote or confined areas such as: steep slopes, wetlands, river pier foundations, basements, beneath overpasses
    • Drill small holes very close to existing walls.
  4. Vibration-Free Drilling Method
    • Boreholes can be drilled without damage to adjacent structures.
  5. Preloading Capacity
    • Piles can be easily pre-loaded, virtually eliminating long-term settlement of structures
  6. Foundation Element for any ground Condition
    • Cohesive soils (clay, silt, sand), non-cohesive soil (sandy gravel, cobbles, boulders), rock
    • Compression and tensile loads, also alternating loads, can be transferred into the underground by skin friction along the grout body.
  7. Environmentally Friendly
    • Do not require large access road or drilling platforms
    • Materials are environmentally safe
