Olivier pile
The Olivier pile stands out as a revolutionary solution in foundation engineering. Crafted from reinforced concrete and featuring a unique screw-shaped shaft, this innovative pile is installed without the need for soil removal. Its versatile design allows it to serve not only as a robust foundation pile but also as an effective ground improvement, offering unparalleled stability and performance for your construction projects.
Up to 40% less concrete consumption and no lost drill tip. The foundation pile with the smallest ecological and economic footprint.
An Olivier® pile is a patented drilled displacement pile made of concrete or reinforced concrete with a screw-shaped shaft (helical shaft) which is performed without soil removal. Due to its screw-shaped shaft, the Olivier pile is particularly suitable for use in soils with low load-bearing capacities, such as clay and loam, but can be applied in almost all types of soil. ontrary to traditional FDP piles, the Olivier pile is 100% displaced until the bottom of the pile and no soil is transported to the surface. An Olivier pile can be made with any foundation machine with a minimum torque from 10t/m.
The Olivier auger heads for helical piles are the same as the auger heads used in the BBRI test campaign conducted by Olivier NV done at Sint-Katelijne-Waver and Limelette between 2000 and 2002. These results were published in the 2003 book “Belgium Screw Pile Technology” under “Olivier pile”.
Auger heads for the Olivier® pile are made in the following diameters:
- d31/46 (310-460mm)
- d31/51 (310-510mm)
- d36/56 (360-560mm)
- d41/61 (410-610mm)
- d46/66 (460-660mm)
- d51/71 (510-710mm)
- d56/76 (560-760mm)
- d61/81 (610-810mm)
- d66/86 (660-860mm)
