PLastic Piles

Don't know if anyone has used these yet, but I'm absolutely sold on them.
They are interlocking piles made of plastic and are incredibly easy to handle and use, whilst providing a neat and cost effective solution.
The job was a pond leaking into a river some 30ft away, but access is nearly impossible and very boggy ground.
The idea was to dig a trench and compact clay into it to form a cut off wall, but some 200tonne would be required and logistically impossible.
I found these Plastic piles on the Internet and the client was happy to give them a go.
We dug a narrow trench to remove any roots or obstructions and then easily pushed the piles with the bucket.
Then using a hydraulic compactor plate finished driving to level.
They look geat and performed faultlessly with not one damaged and a very strong interlock.
Happy to report (fingers crossed) the pond has begun to raise it's level.
It is reputed that lengths of 6metres have been successfully driven, however these were only 1.5metres.
