PRECAST PILES
The Franki precast pile is a high
strength high capacity precast
concrete pile which incorporates a
mechanical joint, allowing piles to be
spliced quickly and then driven to
any required depth.
Precast piles offer the geotechnical
efficiency of a driven pile with the
economies of a mass produced
product. A rigorous quality assurance
program throughout the casting,
driving and testing process ensures a
consistently reliable product with
high strength and durablitiy. Precast
piles are most suited to ground
conditions where soft upper strata
overlie a hard bearing layer and in
areas with clay or silt deposits.
Franki maintains its own casting
facilities which enables it to cater for
varying site conditions with a range
of stock pile lengths & sizes.
Franki maintains in house casting
capacity sufficient to customise pile
lengths for individual sites and to
cater for site variability without the
need for long casting periods prior
to job commencement.
PRECAST PILES
LOAD CAPACITY
Franki precast piles are manufactured
from high strength concrete using
state of the art technology. Structural
load capacities are based on an
independent testing and research
program.
Piles are driven using the most
sophisticated piling machines
operating in Australia.These are
equipped with efficient hydraulic
hammers for faster installation and
lower pile stresses during driving.
The geotechnical strength and
serviceability are determined using
analytical methods applicable to
displacement piles and parameters
THE PILE JOINT based largely on intensive static and
dynamic load test results.
Franki uses a range of jointing
systems including a pinned pile joint Other driven preformed piles offered
which prestresses the pile sections by Franki include:

locked in by a spring washer to • Steel H Piles.

the joint plates and the locking
mechanism against water ingress.
The joint is designed and proof
tested to ensure that where
necessary the compression, tension
and bending stresses are similar to
that of the pile section.
