Driven Cast-in-Situ Piling
The Driven Cast-In-Situ (DCIS) pile is the most commonly used pile type in the Western Cape, well-suited to the region’s soil conditions. It is available in a range of diameters and is constructed with enlarged bases to increase capacity.
The enlarged base pre-loads the surrounding soil, while the driving process densifies the shaft area, enhancing load capacity and delivering a high factor of safety. The method produces no spoil and performs well in a variety of subsoil conditions. It is also one of the most economical piling solutions.
Fairbrother Geotechnical Engineering offers pile diameters from 280mm to 610mm, with working loads ranging from 250kN to 1600kN and depths up to 13.5 metres.
