Precast Concrete Piles: A True Workhorse

Driven deep into the earth and often unseen, lies one of the most durable and economic foundations produced in the precast concrete industry...piles. Piles are prefabricated, high strength, prestressed concrete columns that act as a support or foundation for structures and bridges. In marine and coastal environments, concrete piles are a true workhorse and have a greater longevity than wood or steel piles.
