This Secant Pile Form project located in Chicago, Illinois, consisted of two different shafts and a total of 68 piles, each measuring 47-9/16” in diameter by 36” in height, with a cut-out to allow for a 9” overlap. EPS Secant Pile Forms are lightweight, pre-molded shapes made from expanded polystyrene foam used to create accurate and efficient voids for secant pile construction. They simplify the forming process by eliminating the need for complex, labor-intensive wood or steel forms. EPS forms are custom-cut to match the required pile geometry, ensuring precise alignment and minimal concrete waste.
