Sheet piling is used to drive thin sheets of steel, timber, or concrete into the ground to create a retaining wall or foundation. They are installed vertically to form a continuous barrier to resist soil and water lateral forces.

Screw piles are helical anchors screwed into the ground to support the weight of a structure. They are made of steel and have one or more helixes that are screwed into the soil using hydraulic piling equipment. Screw piles act like columns that support the structure’s weight and distribute it evenly across the soil.

Bored piles need to be augured into the ground to form a hole that workers can later fill in with poured concrete. The benefit of this type of pile is that it's cast into position, meaning that bored piles are extremely secure. Construction projects in cities use bored piles because the installation process results in less vibration when compared to other methods.

Also known as mini piles, micro piles are a type of piling that involves small-diameter piles in the ground using specialised drilling equipment.
