Pulling some 15m piles today, bottoms are like new and still a good either 200x200 or 300x300 beam to be had from the worst of it.

No the main contractor is driving some tubular steel piles to take the new fendering arrangement. More the merrier for Nooie, some of those that came out today are cracking bits of timber.

Only ever used driven precast concrete or bored cast in situ piles for buildings. Just curious whether the tubular piles are blanked off at the bottom to improve end bearing resistance, or are they left open and rely on skin friction? Are they driven deeper than the original greenheart piles?

Open and driven through the mud/rock until resistance then a toe pin will be put in. Yeah much deeper than the originals.

I wouldn't be surprised if these piles were put in by the afore mentioned Glasgow company' Murray's ' in the 70's or 80's.

I'll also be interested to hear how @nooie gets on milling this stuff.. I'm very jealous😁

Yeah it’s potentially nice stuff if it were not on an island I’m pretty sure I’d be inventing a use for it, got a little burn next to mine those 15m ones halved would be ideal to bridge it.
