Poured pile caps

During the casting of pile foundations, the top elevation of the pile should be 0.5 to 1.0 meters higher than the designed pile top elevation to ensure the concrete strength at the pile head. The portion of the pile head above the designed top elevation must be removed during subsequent construction processes, and this removal of the pile head concrete is referred to as "breaking the pile head."

Piling heads are mainly divided into manual and mechanical methods.

Why Break the Pile Head?

Grouting piles during concrete pouring often result in cement slurry rising upwards, making it difficult to ensure the strength of the concrete at the pile head.

2. The broken pile reinforcement enters the foundation, serving both as reinforcement for the foundation and integrating the pile with the foundation into a single structure.
