Reducing Carbon, Adding Value
The Hiper range enables piled foundations and retaining walls to deliver the required structural performance with less material and lower embodied carbon.
Built around hollow, pre-stressed, precast pile technology, the range is designed to reduce concrete and reinforcement. Depending on the application, the hollow core accommodates ground-source heating and cooling, thermal energy storage, or protected post-tensioning systems for tension piles and retaining walls.
1. Less material. Lower embodied carbon.
Material-efficient foundation and retaining-wall designs reduce concrete and reinforcement by 20-30%, lowering the embodied carbon.
2. Greater energy flexibility. Lower operating costs.
Where thermally enabled, Hiper piles combine ground-source energy exchange with thermal storage, manage heating and cooling demand while reducing operational energy use, cost and carbon by up to 40%.
3. Separate installation. Reduced delivery risk.
For thermal applications, pipework installation is separated from piling and groundworks, reducing installation interfaces and supporting a more reliable groundside energy system.
Hiperpile
Delivering the required structural capacity with less material and embodied carbon, the Hiperpile also has enhanced thermal conductivity and significantly greater thermal capacity than traditional energy piles.
Application | Large Dia Bearing Piles |
Key Benefits | Reduces Material, Carbon, & Enables Thermal Use |
Savings | Reduces Embodied Carbon by ~35% |
Max Dia / Depth | 2400mm / 70m |

The pile void provides a shaft through which visual inspections can be made to confirm structural and material integrity, to allow insurers to re-warrant the reuse of existing our Hiperpile foundations.
Bespoke tooling is utilised to core through the pile base to enhance the future load bearing capacity.
Impression Pile
The Impression pile has now been utilised across a number of live projects delivering cost and carbon savings for our clients.
Within the appropriate ground conditions, the Impression pile delivers a 25% uplift in working load capacity per pile.
The impression tool may be adopted with a traditional solid bored pile or with a Hiper pile and is applicable for 600mm-1200mm diameter piles.
