Contiguous pile walls in the UAE

Closely spaced bored piles form an excavation-retention system, coordinated with the ground conditions and temporary support design.

HOW IT WORKS

Installation sequence

01

Set out & install

Set out pile positions and install the wall to the approved design.

02

Excavate in stages

Coordinate excavation lifts with the specified supports and groundwater controls.

03

Inspect & monitor

Review installation records and the specified monitoring results.

APPLICATION & ENGINEERING

Excavation support with closely spaced bored piles

Contiguous piles have small gaps between adjacent piles. They differ from overlapping secant piles; groundwater control and any infill are assessed separately.

When to choose this method

Contiguous pile walls retain excavation faces using closely spaced bored piles. Gaps remain between the piles, so the wall does not inherently form a groundwater cutoff. Movement limits and temporary support levels must be assessed together.

Planning the installation

The ground investigation, groundwater conditions and structural requirements inform method selection. Working access, installation sequence and effects on neighbouring structures are reviewed before execution.

Construction control points

  • Set out pile positions and install the wall to the approved design.
  • Coordinate excavation lifts with the specified supports and groundwater controls.
  • Review installation records and the specified monitoring results.

Check pile positions, diameters and verticality, then coordinate excavation stages with supports or anchors. Monitor wall movement and adjacent structures where required.
