Driven piles made of ductile cast iron pipes are displacement piles and are used when soil strata have no or little load-bearing capacity. The piles transfer the loads to lower strata with higher load

Vibro stone columns are unreinforced pile-like structural elements. They belong to the group of displacement piles and can be used as load-bearing or foundation elements for transferring loads from st

Micropiles serve to transfer axial tensile and/or compressive forces into the ground. They are used, among other things, as foundation elements. Micropiles are driven into the ground using drilling or

Soil nailing is a measure used to increase the tensile and shear strength of the soil to such an extent that the nailed soil can be considered as a monolithic block for verification purposes. Soil nai

Ground anchors are prestressed anchor systems for transmitting tensile forces into the load-bearing ground, e.g. for anchoring shoring systems or slope stabilisation. Ground anchors consist of tendons
