In townhouse construction projects, choosing the appropriate foundation pile plays a very important role in ensuring the durability and stability of the house.

The two most popular types of piles today are reinforced concrete square piles and reinforced concrete centrifugal round piles. Each type of pile has its own advantages and limitations, especially in terms of cost and bearing capacity. This article will analyze the above two aspects to help readers have a clearer view when choosing the right type of pile for their townhouse project.

Considering the cost aspect

In this respect, reinforced concrete square piles have an advantage over reinforced concrete centrifugal round piles. Square piles are produced more simply with a conventional casting process, not requiring high technology or complicated equipment. Therefore, the cost of manufacturing square piles is lower, leading to cheaper pile prices. On the contrary, centrifugal round piles produced in factories require a lot of equipment and strict processes, so the price will be higher.

For townhouse projects with limited budgets, using reinforced concrete square piles helps reduce initial investment costs while still ensuring the safety and stability of the project.

In terms of bearing capacity

In terms of bearing capacity, reinforced concrete centrifugal round piles are superior to square piles. Centrifugal round piles are produced using the centrifugal method, creating concrete with high density and good uniformity. This process enhances the durability and bearing capacity of the pile, ensuring it can withstand harsh environmental conditions. With good bearing capacity and high durability, reinforced concrete centrifugal round piles have a longer lifespan. This ensures safety, especially since most townhouses are constructed without geological survey.

According to Engineer Do Van Nhat, with many years of experience in designing and constructing townhouses, when faced with the choice between reinforced concrete square piles and reinforced concrete centrifugal round piles, investors need to consider Consider carefully based on two aspects: cost and bearing capacity, especially when there is no geological survey record of the construction area.

Currently, the price including piles and presser cases does not differ too much. If the house size is over 4 floors, you should choose the centrifugal round pile solution. If it is under 4 floors and need to save costs, the square pile solution is the appropriate choice.
