THE Z Piles

T.H.E. Plastic Piling Company Boasts one of the most extensive ranges of traditional Z plastic Piling. The range starting with the original standard economy Z piles, through to the 11mm thick ultra Z.

Whilst not strictly a z pile, this range also includes the Europile, itself the first advancement on the standard economy Z pile.

Z piles can be used in two formats, over time these have been referred to as ‘box’ or ‘rib’, the former is the standard wayZ piles are used, and so creates a ‘U’ shape through alternation of the profiles. This box design maximises the strength of the sections, through the provision of a deeper cross section and higher section modulus. The rib configuration in contract provides maximum coverage and is also a more stable orientation for thinner budget pilings as there is less chance of buckling due to slenderness issues. The Europile in contrast provides the same coverage and maximum strength, exemplifying why this product has effectively replaced the Eco Z type profiles.
