New URETEK PowerPile™

A new and unique patented ground stabilisation technology from Uretek

• Saturated organic soils
• Fast application - simply drill small holes, insert and inflate tubes with Uretek resin
• Eliminates need for costly piling
• Minimal mess and disruption
• Reduces the destructive impact of large auger piling
• Tube widths provide support from 350mm - 1.5m diameter
• Resins contained within geotextile tubes - limits the need for drainage protection
• Treatment depths of 5m+
• Compressive strength of tube - 1000kPa - 2000kPa
• E-Modulus - 24.0Mpa - 50.0Mpa
• Tubes inserted at close centres provides up to 600% increase in bearing pressure in surrounding soils
• Provides an ideal solution for ground improvement in peat lenses and horizons

Use new URETEK PowerPile™ Ground Improvement Method (UPP)™ to

• augment existing piles;
• compress ground quickly.
  

The URETEK PowerPile Ground Improvement Method (UPP)™ consists of a central perforated steel cylinder, surrounded by a special high strength stocking.

After a suitable sized hole is drilled to the required depth in the soil, the power pile is inserted into the hole.

The PowerPile™ is then injected with one of Uretek's specialised resins. The stocking fills and radially compresses the surrounding soil.

Fast Ground Compaction.

Uretek can speed the construction of bridges (and other structures) by virtually negating the delay created when waiting for ground consolidation using conventional methods.

URETEK PowerPiles™ are placed in the ground before the embankment is constructed. Their purpose is to compress the ground before the application of the overburden. The URETEK PowerPiles™ expand, thus compressing the soil in much the same way as would be achieved by pre-loading - except that the job is done in days, rather than years.
