Tilbury Docks

Aarsleff successfully installed 2,500nr. precast & steel tubular piles consisting of 300mm, 339mm & 400mmdiameter sized piles. The total pile meterage was approximately 40,000. The piling was required for the construction of a warehouse and external machine storage at Tilbury Docks.

The project required a structurally sound piling solution within a tight programme, necessitating continuous design development. Aarsleff collaborated closely with Careys through weekly design meetings, optimising efficiency and adaptability. The specific pile diameter and reinforcement types are shown below.

• 300mm: Type 8, Type 12, Type 16
• 400mm: Type 16
• 339mm: Steel with up to 12mm wall thickness.

To address project-specific requirements, Aarsleff supplied Centrum cast piles, deviating from standard configurations for a tailored approach. A dedicated on-site supervisor ensured precision, efficiency, and seamless execution.
