Leading Concrete Piling Contractors

Driven precast concrete piling is the technique Aarsleff is known for, having worked as a piling contractor for over 30 years in the UK. We like to follow the lead of European construction and offer the alternate (the more cost-effective and sustainable alternative) to our clients, unlike other concrete foundation contractors.

Our specialised services provide robust foundation support for all types of engineering structures, from commercial buildings to complex marine projects. We utilise state-of-the-art piling technology and techniques to ensure rapid installation and minimal environmental impact.

Where Do We Offer Our Services?

Driven precast concrete piling is a common type of piling in the UK. At Aarsleff, we have completed piling work in various schemes and market sectors including:

Centrum Pile Partnership

Our driven precast piles are manufactured by our sister company, Centrum Pile Ltd, the UK’s leading and most advanced manufacturer of continuously reinforced, precast concrete piles.

Centrum precast concrete piles are manufactured using the most advanced concrete, distribution, mould, pile joint and manufacturing technology available. They have a high structural capacity which is achieved from the use of high strength sulphate-resisting concrete and exceptionally rigid welded reinforcing cages. This means that the Centrum Pile System can be installed to work at higher concrete stress levels than would be permissible for piles formed in the ground using traditional cast in-situ wet concrete.

Technical Paper Collaborations

We’re so passionate about our value as a driven piling contractor that in 2017 we collaborated with the University of Sheffield to co-write a technical paper titled “Challenging the Perception of Precast Piles”. The paper has since become highly regarded in the industry and has been published by Ground Engineering Magazine and the Telegraph. It is also available to download for free from our website – just click here. The paper details an array of benefits that precast piling brings, with a nod to the government favouring offsite construction methods by 2019.
