Driven Cased Piling
Driven cased piling, one of our many reliable and efficient methods of foundation installation, involves driving steel or concrete casings into the ground to create a strong, stable base. The purpose of the casing is to protect the pile during installation, preventing collapse and minimising ground disturbance. This means that it is especially effective in areas with loose or waterlogged soils, where traditional piling methods may not be suitable.
On this page, our groundwork contractors highlight the common domestic, commercial, and industrial applications of this method and discuss its benefits, which include a high load-bearing capacity and reduced vibration.
If you require a professional groundworks company to assist with your project in Croydon, Romford, Chelmsford, Wimbledon, Tunbridge Wells, Harrow, St Albans, Haywards Heath, Colchester, Harlow, or any of the surrounding areas, please don’t hesitate to contact us. From open access piling techniques to restricted access solutions, such as SFA piling, our team can do it all.
Our groundwork contractors use driven cased piling for a wide range of construction and infrastructure projects where ground conditions require additional stability and strength. This method is particularly effective in sites with soft, loose, or waterlogged soils that are susceptible to collapse, as the steel casing provides structural support and enhances the pile's integrity once in place. Their versatility and reliability make them ideal for both temporary and permanent foundation installations.
Projects that would benefit from this method include:
Driven cased piling provides superior stability in loose, soft, or waterlogged soils. The steel casing prevents borehole collapse during installation, ensuring a safe and secure foundation.
This foundation installation method generates minimal vibration and ground movement, making it ideal for projects near existing buildings, underground services, or sensitive environments where preserving structural integrity is crucial.
Our groundwork contractors can install driven cased piles quickly using conventional piling rigs. This reduces construction time and minimises disruption on busy or time-sensitive sites.
The combination of driven depth and strong casing allows these piles to support heavy structural loads, making them suitable for large commercial, industrial, and infrastructure projects in Croydon, Romford, Chelmsford, Wimbledon, Tunbridge Wells, Harrow, St Albans, Haywards Heath, Colchester, Harlow, and beyond.
With little to no spoil removal and reduced noise compared to other methods, driven cased piling is a cleaner, more sustainable option for modern construction sites.
