NS ECO-PILE™

Most of the major cities in Japan are built on alluvial plains at the lower reaches of the rivers. Since alluvium is typically soft ground, structures such as high-rise buildings or expressways need to be supported by piles long enough to reach the hard ground base. Industrial waste such as waste soil or slurry as well as noise and vibration arising during the conventional pile construction method create environmental and social problems. Nippon Steel Engineering’s NS ECO-PILE solves all these problems and realizes high bearing capacity, excellent earthquake resistance, cost effectiveness and shorter construction period. This is the piling method of the future.
