Top Driven Steel Tubular Piles serve as an alternative to Driven Precast Concrete Piles, they are a robust solution for foundations. Our top driven steel piles work particularly well in situations where the ground conditions are challenging or uncertain. Their strength, adaptability, and sustainability benefits make them a practical choice for a wide range of projects and locations across the UK.
Using our steel tubulars for piling offers enhanced driving capabilities and our repurposed products (which are sourced from the oil and gas industry) will save you 2.163kg of CO2 per tonne, see our LCA for details.
What is Top Driven Steel Tubular Piling used for?
Top driven Steel Tubular Piles support foundations in a wide variety of structures, spanning residential, commercial, geothermal, infrastructure, rail, and heavy civil works sectors. They are perfectly suited for dense made ground, banded natural strata, or where keying into rock is necessary. These piles emerge as a superior and versatile solution in these complex situations, particularly where issues are occurring with other pile types.
Driven Steel Tubular Piles provide clients with a displacement solution, they do not generate soil arisings during installation. This is particularly useful where there is ground contamination, or to mitigate disposal of waste soil. Clients using steel tubular piling can expect to reduce associated traffic movements and cost of waste disposal.
Designed to cater to a range of different types of loading, Top Driven Steel Tubular Piles come in a variety of sizes and wall thicknesses to allow selection of the most suitable product during the design stage. These piles provide a solid foundation for many structures across all sectors, their robust nature makes them more superior to Driven Precast Concrete Piles which can be easily damaged in difficult driving conditions.

Quick Contact
Top Driven Tubular Piling Products/Process
JLT hold a vast inventory of tubulars across two locations: Montrose, Scotland and Scunthorpe, England. This gives us the capability to respond to any piling requirements quicky and effectively anywhere in the UK, Europe and beyond.
We provide a range of in-house services along with the tubulars we supply including:
- Inspection
- Cleaning
- Saw Cutting
- Welding/Fabrication
- Threading
- Endformed Connection System
One of the key benefits of Driven Steel Tubular Piles is the quick installation both on site and for follow on works. They can be installed as open-ended or with an end plate, they do not usually need to be concreted (which adds further carbon savings). Steel piles are immediately ready for subsequent construction phases which saves time and money.
Driven Steel Tubular piles are efficient to install. They are driven into the ground by top driven rigs, designed with hydraulic hammers.
Our Top Driven Steel Tubulars
We’ve been repurposing surplus steel tubulars for more than 30 years. Reusing steel casing pipe for structural applications like piling creates a circular economy whereby existing products are kept in use for longer, helping to protect the earth’s natural resources and reduce carbon emissions. Our pipe not only exceeds UK piling specifications, it’s also cheaper than buying new steel and is more sustainable, we’re providing a robust, greener solution for your project see our LCA for details.
Our stock sizes range from 140mm diameter to 914mm diameter with a range of wall thickness and lengths. The piles are supplied by John Lawrie Tubulars to site in lengths typically ranging from 3m to 13m (custom lengths are available and are cut to length in-house). The piles can be tailored to suit required depths, which minimises material wastage.
Driven Steel Tubular Piles offer flexibility in adapting to varying ground conditions. The result is a high grade, clean, rapid, and efficient installation the perfect foundation for seamless progress in subsequent construction phases.
