Panels of precast concrete timber sleepers or steel can then be slotted into the h piles to form the retaining wall.
King post wall concrete panels.
This allows concrete pre stressed panels or sleepers to be inserted between the webs of the h sections.
They comprise boring a hole with a continuous flight auger cfa piling rig filling it with concrete then installing an h beam.
A continuous flight auger large diameter or minipiling rig is used to create a bore hole which is filled with concrete to form a base for a h pile.
King posts and panels an ideal solution for single sided retaining walls or basement type excavations where it is not feasible to drive sheet piles or where a clear working area is essential to allow construction of the works.
This allows concrete pre stressed panels to be inserted between the webs of the h sections which after excavation results in the finished embedded retaining wall.
A king post retaining wall is a versatile retaining wall system which can be used to retain a wide variety of materials.
The space between the king posts is in filled using a variety of different options from precast concrete panels to steel sheets or railway sleepers depending on whether the retaining wall is to be a permanent or temporary structure and the depth of excavation to be retained.
As the wall is being installed the soil is being backed up to each section to achieve the required site levels prior to groundworks commencing for the industrial buildings work.
The 160mm thick and 200mm thick horizontal concrete panels were supplied by fp mccann s lydney precast facility.
Installation of the concrete panels between the steel columns is quick and easy the panels can either be positioned into the web of a steel column or attached to the outside face using bolts and steel plates provided.
Work commenced in april 2019.
