Guidewalls are required to help control and limit the installation tolerances of piled foundations. They are typically constructed for the piled or diaphragm retaining walls, although some are built for the control of bearing piles where tight positional tolerances are required. They are normally constructed using concrete and steel reinforcement. The L&A shuttering system is fully reusable, the shutters are removed once the concrete has cured allowing the completed guidewall to be surveyed prior to strutting and backfilling.

The system removes the requirement for the use of polystyrene void formers and the potential the use of this method has to contaminate muck away with polystyrene beads. Contiguous, Secant and bearing pile Guidewalls are formed using scalloped shutters. Our stock of pods for all pile diameters allows us to be able to respond to our clients needs at short notice. Many of our projects have required unique and custom piled Guidewalls of which we have excelled in creating. Our system is safe, accurate and efficient to operate and install.

Providing peace of mind that a quality product is formed. The shutters are removed following the casting of each respective section of Guidewall, this allows accurate as-built surveys to be taken, requires backfilling reducing muck away volume and doesn’t create contamination within the muck away.
