There are alot of options when it comes to Piles. We are here to help educate and choose the right one for your situation. Take a look and the general information and please email us with any questions!
Driven piles types are generally, round steel pipe, Steel H beams, concrete piles and treated timber. Each has its own unique pluses and minuses.
The round steel pipe is good for all around pile types. Usually driven with a closed end and the filled with concrete. Steel piles can be spliced so that they can be driven to needed resistance.
Steel H beams are good when heavy loading is called for or when ground conditions require the piles to be driven thru broken concrete, boulders. These are good for the Midwest area and perfect for the Wisconsin ground. These are usually the most expensive however of the steel options.
Concrete piles are generally used in salt water conditions and are not widely used in the Northern US. They would mostly be used along the coast and last a long time.
Treated timber piles are usually the most economical. These are used when there is peat soils or wet conditions. Major disadvantage to timber piles is they cannot be spliced; so good soil information is needed.
As you can see there are alot of great options. That is where a true professional comes in and we are happy to help.
