Secant and Tangent Piles

Secant piles are an effective deep foundation and retaining wall solution used extensively in challenging ground conditions and areas with limited construction space. At Pacific Foundation, we specialize in designing and installing secant pile systems that deliver reliable performance in a wide range of geotechnical applications.

What Are Secant Piles?

Secant piles are reinforced concrete piles installed in an overlapping arrangement, forming a continuous wall. This interlocking method ensures exceptional stability, water tightness, and structural integrity, making them ideal for deep excavations, basement walls, cofferdams, and retaining structures, particularly in water-bearing soils.

Advantages of Secant Piles:

• Enhanced Stability: Excellent lateral strength and stability, ideal for deep excavations and slope stabilization.
• Effective Groundwater Control: The interlocking design creates a watertight barrier, minimizing water ingress during construction.
• Minimal Space Requirements: Suitable for urban settings with restricted space due to their vertical installation.
• Reduced Noise and Vibration: Installation methods limit noise and vibration, minimizing impact on surrounding structures and communities.

Typical Applications:

• Deep basement construction
• Retaining walls for highways and railways
• Cut-off walls for groundwater management
• Foundations near existing structures
• Slope stabilization and landslide prevention
