DRIVECAST (TM) Displacement Pile

Patent-pending technology that's a faster, no disruption, high capacity alternative to current piles

​

---

The Drivecast pile is a full displacement pile, using robust soil displacement methodology to developed high capacities using a centralized steel shaft surrounded by a grout column.

• Helix Material Low Carbon Steel Meeting the General Requirements of AISI or ASTM A572, A656, or A1018
• Coupling Bolts: 1-1/8” Diameter x 4-1/4” Long Hex Head Per ASTM A193 Grade B7
