PILES

Foundation Piles

Duraspun
Concrete Piles
Rocla Duraspun foundation piles
are manufactured from high-density
concrete, either reinforced or prestressed. The centrifugal spinning
process produces concrete of high
strength and durability. The annular
cross-section makes Duraspun
concrete piles lighter and more
economical than cast concrete piles
of equivalent bending strength.
Duraspun piles are suitable for all
ground conditions and are designed
for driven and potted applications.
A wide range of strength types and
lengths is available.

Jointing
Rapid jointing of pile sections can be
achieved using the New Millennium
jointing system, which allows the
connection of pile sections in
minutes without the need for special
tools or welding equipment.

Notes: *Maximum internal diameter. Wall thickness may be greater than quoted.
**Design shear strength = phi x Vu.
Vu = Shear strength of pile based on Rocla in-house design.The shear strength values LLDS and LMS apply only
to potted piles. For driven piles,the ULDS value applies over the entire length of the pile.
LMS = Length of maximum shear
ULDS = Upper level design shear strength.Applies over the upper portion of the pile,or L
LMS (where L = length of pile).
LLDS = Lower level design shear strength.Applies over the bottom length of maximum shear (LMS) of a pile.
If the pile length is less than LMS +3m,the LLDS value will be valid for the full length of the pile.
The shear reinforcement extends 1.0m beyond the length LMS to ensure that the shear load acts within the
strengthened area (allows for a pile diameter beyond the support point).

Marine Piles

Duraspun
Marine Piles
Rocla Duraspun marine piles are
suitable for use in floating marinas
and are designed primarily as
cantilever elements with bending
strengths typically increasing from
the head of the pile to the toe.
They are also suitable for jetties
and structural applications.
The centrifugally spun
manufacturing process produces a
hollow, circular section of high
density reinforced or pre-stressed
concrete, resulting in a pile that is
lighter and more economical for a
given length and purpose than
solid cast concrete piles of the
same length and strength.
A large range of bending strengths is
available, from 125 kNm up to 1200
kNm, as well as a range of fittings
that allows the piles to be easily
incorporated into fixed structural
walkways, ramps and jetties.
