Precast Concrete Piles

Precast Concrete Piles must perform to strict specifications relating to the effects of various types of Loadings and Stresses. This will depend upon individual applications and ground conditions eg Cyclic Dynamic Loads, Axial Loads, Bending Stresses etc.

The integrity and quality of the reinforced concerete section is of paramount importance.

Precast Concrete Piles are manufactured in a controlled manufacturing environment with full traceability. A quality and reliable Pile is consistently produced.

Precast Concrete Piles are normally square with dimensions ranging from 250mm to 450mm with maximum length up to 20 metres.

Precast Concrete Piles are cost effective and adaptable.

Precast Concrete Beams

'Offsite Construction' brings the advantages of improved quality, better Health & Safety, greater speed of construction and simpler construction processes to the building site.

Whelans Precast House Foundation System is the result of the needs of the house building industry for a solution to the difficulties imposed upon them by spiralling labour rates, acute skills shortage and ever increasing performance demands (both time and economic).

The system combines precast concrete piling, precast concrete pile caps and precast concrete ground beams, manufactured under controlled factory conditions employing the very latest concrete technology, to produce a tailor made house foundation solution.

Advantages include;

• Improved Health & Safety,
• Greater speed of construction
• Higher standards of quality and reliability,
• Greater predictability of costs and programme,
• Less disruptions to the construction process (not weather dependent),
• Reduced environmental impact (no spoil on site or wasted materials),
• Simpler construction process,
• Reduced reliance on expensive, scarce traditional trades,

Precast Wheel Stops

Durable 5000 psi air-entrained concrete.

• Reinforced with two #4 rebars.
• Standard 6'-0" length.
• Approximate weight: 250 lbs.
• Two 3/4" diameter thru-holes for anchoring.
• Tapered side design equalizes pressure down and forward from car wheels to relieve tension on setting pins and chocks.
• Slots on underside allow drainage and allow units to be lifted with forklift.
• Graduated taper on ends relieves danger of cutting tires.
• Chocks mark parking spaces long after painted lines have worn off.
• Parking areas may be revised without knocking out poured-in-place curbing.
• Use to protect buildings, shrubbery and lawns adjoining parking areas.
• Chocks afford positive stopping for cars on sloped parking surfaces.
