Piling and earth retention

Piling involves the installation of structural elements to transfer foundation loads through weak soils to stronger underlying ground.

Keller offers a wide range of piling and retention systems, two of which are shown below. Piles may be preformed and driven into the ground or cast in situ. Keller has installed piles underpinning many major building and civil engineering projects around the world.

Piling Systems Friction and end-bearing piles ranging from lightly-loaded wood piles to high-capacity, concrete-filled steel pipe and H-piles driven in all types of soil to depths up to 150 feet, to provide foundations for building and infrastructure projects.
Retention Systems Drilled or driven support systems (steel sheeting, soldier piles and lagging, tangent pile walls) cantilevered, braced or tied-back, installed in all types of soil to provide horizontal and vertical restraint of adjacent property during excavation and construction of below grade facilities.
