Energy Piles

Ground Source Heat Pump (GSHP) loops can be integrated with deep foundations to form  “energy piles”. The energy pile is a pile containing pipe circuits to exchange heat with the surrounding soil.

The energy piles both

• Transfer load from the building into the ground, and

• Exchange Head with the soil

The piles are drilled as normal using Continuous Flight Auger (CFA) or mini-piling techniques, and the loops attached to the reinforcing cage before installation.
