Contiguous Piles

Contiguous piles are a type of retaining wall system used in construction to provide structural support and soil stabilization, particularly in excavations or areas with challenging ground conditions. This technique involves installing a series of reinforced concrete piles in a straight line, with small gaps between each pile. Unlike secant piles, which overlap, contiguous piles do not interlock, making them more suitable for situations where water retention is not a primary concern. The gaps between the piles allow for drainage, which can be beneficial in stable soil conditions. Contiguous piles are often used in the construction of basements, underground structures, and slope stabilization projects, offering a cost-effective and efficient solution for retaining soil while maintaining structural integrity. Their simplicity and adaptability make them a popular choice for a wide range of construction applications.
