PILE CAGES
Reinforcement for deep foundations and infrastructure projects
Pile cages are reinforcement elements used in the execution of deep foundations, where the project demands high bearing capacity, stability, and reliable long-term performance. They are primarily used for bored piles in buildings, bridges, viaducts, and other infrastructure works, where their role is to provide the necessary reinforcement before the concrete is poured into the borehole.
Manufactured from cut and bend reinforcing steel, pile cages are produced to strictly comply with project dimensions and requirements, ensuring proper integration during execution and efficient on-site installation. Precision in execution is vital, especially in foundation works where the reinforcement must remain compliant throughout the entire length of the element. This execution logic is specific to deep foundations such as bored piles / drilled shafts, where the reinforcement cage is lowered into the borehole prior to concreting.
Pile cages are recommended for projects where the foundation must transfer loads to more competent soil layers and limit settlement, including large-scale infrastructure and civil or industrial constructions. Pile foundations are used precisely to transfer loads into stronger soils or rocks when the upper layers are weak or compressible.
