Steel Cased Driven Piling
Steel Cased Driven (SCD) piling is a robust and dependable foundation solution designed for projects requiring high load capacity and performance in challenging ground conditions. This method involves driving a steel casing into the ground to the required depth before filling with reinforced concrete to form a structurally sound pile.
At Capital Piling, we deliver SCD piling solutions for domestic, residential and commercial developments, adapting pile diameter, depth and reinforcement to meet structural and geotechnical requirements.
Low-vibration methods
Tight-access sites
Fully compliant & insured
Typical Applications for SCD Piling:
Challenging ground conditions
Contaminated sites
High groundwater
Projects requiring high load capacity
Sites where ground displacement is beneficial
Is Steel Cased Driven Right for Your Project?
Our team will review ground investigation reports, load requirements and site constraints to determine whether Steel Cased Driven piling is the most appropriate method for your development.
What Is SCD Piling?
Steel Cased Driven (SCD) piling is a displacement piling method in which a steel casing is driven into the ground using a vibrating mole or drop hammer rig. The casing is advanced to the required depth or resistance, creating a stable bore without the need for soil removal.
Once the design depth is achieved, the casing is filled with concrete and reinforced in accordance with the structural specification. The driven installation compacts the surrounding ground, which can enhance bearing capacity and improve overall foundation performance, particularly in loose, granular or water-bearing soils.
