King Post Walls
King Post walls are a very cost-effective method of earthwork support for temporary or permanent cases. The main benefits include:
-
Suitable for vibration sensitive scenarios.
-
Practical for most ground conditions with several types of construction methods – open-bore, cased or CFA techniques.
-
Optimum usage of costly material such as steel.
-
Several type of infill panels ranging from timbers, prestressed concrete panels, steel plates and even inverted sheet piles.
-
Suitable for restricted access where alternative piling plant will be unable to access.
-
Tight against existing structures.
The principle behind the system is to drive/bore into suitable ground conditions and install a UC beam at pre-determined centres then use infill material to create the wall. A full design analysis is undertaken before determining the post size and centres based on the application for the wall and ultimately its retaining height.
