#PinPileWalls
Pin pile walls are a type of retaining wall system that uses spaced vertical columns or piles driven deep into the ground to stabilize soil on sloped terrains. These walls are particularly effective in regions with unstable soil conditions, providing essential support by anchoring into stable soil layers or bedrock, and are known for their ability to handle high water levels and prevent soil collapse.
In this episode of The Wall’s podcast, we explore the benefits of pin pile walls in Portland, Oregon. These walls stabilize sloped terrains and manage high precipitation by anchoring deep into stable soil layers, reducing collapse risks and channeling away water effectively. They offer cost-efficiency and flexibility, requiring minimal excavation and allowing for design adjustments during construction. Innovations like Piling Framed Retaining Walls (PFRWs) and underpinning counterfort retaining walls are discussed for their tailored solutions and economic value. Additionally, their aesthetic integration into Portland’s landscape highlights their appeal as a functional and visually pleasing solution.
