Tangent Pile Retention
Tangent pile walls are comprised of drilled-in concrete piles – often installed using the augured cast-in-place method – that are located within very close proximity to each other. These piles may be reinforced with structural steel or reinforcement cages. This retention type may be used when a relatively thin wall is desired with superior strength from the composite nature of the piles.
