The Morris-Shea DeWaal Pile System is a drilled, full displacement, cast-in-place concrete pile installed by powerful, fixed mast drill rigs capable of applying high rotational torque and crowd forces to the unique DeWaal tool. Installation of this patented system is performed in a safe, simple and rapid single-pass process that densifies the soil, improves shaft friction and increases overall pile capacity. The DeWaal pile is ideal for installation in loose to medium dense soil profiles, including those with shallow groundwater tables and seismic design requirements.
The DeWaal Pile System can be installed as a one-to-one, equal capacity replacement for driven and augercast piles with no foundation redesign. DeWaal piles are safer, faster and more economical than driven piles. This field-proven pile eliminates pile-driving concerns such as hammer noise and vibration, excessive material lead times, large staging areas and material waste. Unlike augercast piles, the DeWaal system provides higher load bearing capacity, improved quality control and the elimination of drilling spoils. DeWaal foundations can be conveniently installed in close proximity to sensitive operating equipment or in urban areas with noise and vibration restrictions. DeWaal piles also eliminate the expense of hazardous waste removal from project sites with contaminated soils.
Morris-Shea DeWaal Drilled Displacement Piles have been successfully installed throughout North America and the proven DeWaal Pile System should not be confused with other DDP applications.
