Forming the Structural Link Between Piles and the Superstructure

Pile caps are reinforced concrete elements that connect one or more piles to the structural system above. They act as a load distribution platform, transferring loads from columns or walls into the supporting piles and ensuring that forces are spread evenly across the foundation system.

Constructing pile caps is a key groundworks activity in piled foundation systems, typically carried out after piles have been installed and cut to the correct level. The pile cap ties the individual piles together into a single structural unit.

At a high level, pile caps provide the critical interface between deep foundation elements and the load-bearing structure above.
