Cable Lock System
(depths from 9 to 90 feet)

Advantages

• It has all the advantages of the simple pressed pilings plus installation controls.
• Depth can be verified by measuring the cable extension.
• The cable has a tensile strength of 200,000 p.s.i. versus a maximum of 60,000 p.s.i. rebar used in other systems.
• The cable controls horizontal movement.
• The entire pile system is locked together with the cable. This enables the lower portion of the piling to act as an anchor preventing upheaval during wet periods (much like the under-ream on a pier). Prevents space between cylinders during wet/dry cycles.
• City inspectors, engineers, and you personally can verify job performance.
• Pilings are tested during installation (concrete and soil) to ensure future performance.
• A safety factor provided by load distribution and thixotropy ensures the pilings' future performance.
