FAST. SIMPLE. SAFE.®
You might have seen our tag line in our advertisements or read last month’s Dialogue where we introduced the following three terms that so accurately describe TRM’s Ductile Iron Piles: FAST – the low vibration, driven system is installed much faster than micropiles and other deep foundation systems. SIMPLE – the versatile […]
Structural Design of Ductile Iron Piles in Compression
Ductile Iron Piles have been used on a wide range of projects in the United States and around the world to support allowable axial compression loads ranging from 25 tons to more than 100 tons. Like traditional pile systems, the design capacity of Ductile Iron Piles in compression depends on […]
EARTH DAY – EVERY DAY
Regardless of the causes, evidence and impacts of climate change are all around us. Our world is changing. Green initiatives are critical to work towards more sustainable and long-lasting climate solutions. Since its founding on April 22, 1970, Earth Day marks a day to raise awareness of environmental issues facing our […]
Contractor Spotlight – Deep Foundation Group
CONTRACTOR SPOTLIGHT – Deep Foundation Group More and more project teams across the United States and Canada are selecting Ductile Iron Piles from DuroTerra to provide substantial value when addressing their deep foundation needs. Ductile Iron Piles are increasingly used on projects to save time and money, while substantially reducing the […]
Ductile Iron Piles – Fast. Simple. Safe.™…..and Sustainable
Whether referring to Green Construction, Sustainable Building or Net Zero Energy Building, the push for more environmentally-conscience and climate-friendly construction has continued to gain momentum in the U.S. over the last two decades. Programs like Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification developed by the U.S. Green Building Council […]
Project Experiences and Resources for 2024
Project teams across North America are increasingly taking advantage of the benefits offered by Ductile Iron Piles. Our customers continue to bring value to projects using the low vibration, modular driven pile system on sites with constrained access, limited overhead, vibration concerns, variable rock depths and other challenges. Curious where […]
Hot Topics of 2023
Looking ahead to 2024, we wanted to express our gratitude for the opportunities to be a part of your project successes. We hope you have a fantastic holiday season and wish you good health, happiness, and prosperity in the coming year! Before we bid farewell to 2023, we hope you […]
A Low Vibration Solution with Driven Ductile Iron Piles
Traditional driven piles are often associated with high vibration installations. As Jerry Lee Lewis might have sung “there’s a whole lotta shakin’ going on.” But that’s not the case with TRM’s Ductile Iron Piles – a low vibration driven pile system. Instead, it’s more like the Beach Boys singing “Good…good….good…Good Vibrations.” That’s right – Ductile […]
Got Tension? It’s No Problem for Ductile Iron Piles
Seismic overturning, wind pressures, retaining wall uplift loads or even structural configurations often result in tension demands on foundations. You might be surprised to know that Ductile Iron Piles can offer a deep foundation solution to resist high tension loads, in addition to compression loading. While the unique Plug-and-Drive (bell-spigot) connection […]
Axial Load Testing of Ductile Iron Piles
Unlike other deep foundation systems that may rely only on correlations as indicators of capacity, Ductile Iron Piles are routinely load tested to verify performance and confirm design capacities. One of the more frequent questions that arises is what type of load testing can be performed on Ductile Iron Piles […]
