Hiperpile

Hiperpile: The Next-Generation Thermal Energy Pile. 

What is Hiperpile?  Hiperpile is a suite of individual innovations in piled foundations which, when combined, offer unprecedented savings in whole life carbon.

What we do: We provide highly optimised geotechnical and structural foundation solutions, using the range of individual innovations within the Hiperpile to reduce whole life carbon.

Our hollow pile technology eliminates the wasteful design of under-utilised concrete, reducing the embodied carbon within the foundations.  

Our unique, next generation thermal energy pile is then enabled through the utilisation of the hollow void within the pile. By filling the void with water, Hiperpiles act as a highly efficient thermal energy source and store. When coupled with heat pump technology our piles become integrated, valued components within the buildings MEP system, reducing operational carbon emissions.

In the appropriate ground conditions, we also deploy our impression pile technology which, when combined with the use of low carbon materials, deliver extraordinary reductions in embodied carbon.

Finally, at the end of the buildings initial design life, through the utilisation of the hollow void once more, our Hiperpiles can be inspected, maintained and if needed extended and re-warranted. It is in this way that our Hiperpiles become a low carbon foundation system, enabling efficient, reliable, and sustainable thermal energy for all.

Hiperpile enables developers to:

• Deliver on their carbon pledges and reduce their upfront Section 106 offset obligations
• Reduce the overall environmental impact of construction works by reducing the volume of construction traffic
• Enhance their asset's value by reducing operation cost and carbon
