Working in urban environments presents unique logistical challenges beyond those typically associated with traditional geotechnical analysis and design. This paper describes the construction, design and quality control details including load testing of Ductile Iron Piles - an innovative piling system used in Europe for decades. Project applications and system benefits are also described. The paper presents practical examples of North American projects where the system provided economic, construction and technical advantages.
