GFRP Bored Pile refers to a type of pile used in excavation works for foundation construction. These piles are employed in construction projects to enhance the load-bearing capacity of the soil or to stabilize the ground.
Particularly in soft or loose soils, driven piles are utilized to increase the durability of buildings, bridges, or other structures. Driven piles are a widely adopted solution in the field of construction engineering.
Bored Piles can be made using Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) or fiberglass-reinforced polymer materials. GFRP is a lightweight and durable material, having advantages such as being lighter than steel and free from issues like rotting and rusting. These features have made GFRP a popular choice for soil stabilization and the construction of foundation piles.
GFRP Bored Piles can often replace steel driven piles and may be preferred, especially in construction projects exposed to environmental conditions. Due to its durability and lightweight nature, GFRP bored piles can be used in bridges, buildings, and other infrastructure projects. Such materials are particularly favored to prevent damage to steel driven piles in underwater or acidic environments.
