 Our Centrum Pile System

The Centrum Pile System begins with a continuously reinforced precast

concrete pile, cast in standard square sections from 200mm to 400mm and from

4m in length, increasing in 1m increments to standard lengths of up to 14m.

Larger section sizes and lengths can be manufactured to suit project specific requirements.

Centrum precast concrete piles are manufactured using the most advanced technology available,

have a high structural capacity which is achieved from the use of high strength sulphate

resisting concrete and are made using exceptionally rigid welded reinforcement cages. This

means that the Centrum Pile can be installed to work at higher concrete stress levels than

would be permissible for piles formed in the ground using traditional cast insitu wet concrete.

The Centrum Pile itself is manufactured to

BS EN 12794:2005 = A1 Precast Concrete Products

 Our Pile Joints
The Centrum Pile can be easily and quickly extended when required using a robust

mechanical interlocking joint cast into the pile segment. The Class A pile joints used by

Centrum Precast are recognised as being the strongest, most durable pile joints available.

Class A Joint Mechanism

Manufactured to BS EN 12794, the A Joint pretensions

the connection between the pile segments to be

joined, thereby inhibiting the ingress of water or

corrosive agents. Continuous development has

recently resulted in a new generation of Class A joints.

STRONG.
Class D Joint Single Pin
The Class D joint has been introduced for the

200/250/300mm square piles and manufactured to the DURABLE.

same high standards. This joint is more economical

for use where lateral tension is not an issue. ROBUST.

 Our Centrum Ground Beam

As part of its growing number of precast foundation

elements, Centrum has developed the Centrum Ground
Beam, designed with the housing sector in mind.
The Centrum Ground Beam, which is 450mmX450mm
in section, is manufactured in the same quality
controlled environment as the Centrum Pile to
deliver the same high quality product that our
customers have come to expect from Centrum.

Benefits:
Uses less natural materials (fine and coarse aggregate)

Less cementious materials per unit load carried

Driven precast concrete piles also generate no spoilings or hazardous Suitable for Residential

 Our Production Process
For the production of reinforcement cages,

Centrum use the latest generation of Welding

Robots unique to the UK. This offers a high

production rate in the region of 200 linear metres

per hour, all in a quality controlled environment,

ensuring that the cages are manufactured to our

exact requirements in order to produce the high

standard precast concrete pile our clients expect.

The semi automated factory is based on a

mix of 45 insulated moulds, each consisting

of a set of individual square section troughs

catering for all common section sizes.

The moulds travel round the facility on a

system of wheeled chassis and rollers to

each of the various work sections stations.

They travel under the fixed concrete casting

machine for automatic filling with self-

compacting concrete before being stored in the

specially adapted curing chamber. Once cured

the piles are then stripped and stored until

they reach the required strength for driving.
