Why Choose G-Pile System
![]() |
Cost EffectiveThe G-pile system is more cost effective than conventional piling systems. Significant savings in operational cost can be achieved through the system's simple and rapid pile installation process and better productivity.Environmentally FriendlyThrough the usage of the hydraulic jacking installation process, the G-pile system is practically free of noise, vibration or pollution. A particularly important advantage for regulated city zones, environmentally sensitive sites, and when piling near or within sensitive structures. Furthermore, the work-site will always remain clean and dust-free.ConfidenceDuring installation, twice the working load is applied on the pile. Each pile is individually test loaded; the guesswork and uncertainty associated with the conventional system is therefore eliminated. This will ensure a high level of quality assurance.DurabilityNo wasteful provision is needed in G-pile system as compared to the conventional hammer-driven piling system. Tensile cracks, which normally occur in hammer-driven piles because of impact and reflected stress waves and necking problem in the case of bored pile do not arise in G-pile system. G-pile system is therefore more durable. |
