Secant Pile Walls
Secant piled walls are embedded retaining wall structures mainly utilised to allow deep excavation in water charged ground conditions.
Using CFA – Diameters from 450mm to 1200mm.
Using Bored Piles with segmental casing- Diameters from 450mm to 1500mm.
Using Turbo Jet - Diameters from 600mm to 1200mm.
Applications
Secant piled walls are embedded retaining wall structures mainly utilised to allow deep excavation in water charged ground conditions. The walls are constructed by installing piles in a predetermined sequence. Soft (normally un-reinforced) piles are installed first followed by hard (reinforced) piles which overlap, cutting into the two soft piles on either side. Once the wall is complete the end product is a ground and water retaining wall that can also be load bearing.
This design is also suitable for retaining fine sands and very soft wet ground and may be used for cut-off walls such as cofferdams. The purpose of the secant piled wall is to ensure that the ground or composition behind the wall is securely and safely held in place despite its lateral and downward pressure against the retaining structure.
Secant pile walls can be constructed using different piling methods such as CFA, Bored Pile, Cased Secant Pile (CSP) or turbo jet (soil mixing).
Advantages
- Minimal ground disturbance to adjacent property.
- Low noise and vibration.
- Excavations kept sufficiently dry that dewatering is not essential.
- Can be incorporated into permanent works to form part of the structural foundations.
- Can be used as a temporary structure.

Scope of Works
Avopiling was contracted to design and build the shoring wall and the foundation piles. The secant wall shall consist of 750Ø Cased CFA Piles 65No primary (Hard piles) and 66No secondary (Soft Piles) to depths averaging 18.00 meters deep. The 750Ø foundation bored piles are to be built using segmental casings to pile depths to 25.00 meters deep.
