Bamboo piles, Melaleuca piles or wooden piles in house construction

For construction in Ho Chi Minh City, piles from trees are still used. However, bamboo piles, cajuput piles or wooden piles are mainly used to reinforce the ground surface, not the type of piles that bear the load for the construction and have the ability to drive deep into hard ground like concrete piles or steel piles.

What are Melaleuca piles or wooden piles commonly used for in foundation construction?

Normally, bamboo piles and Melaleuca piles will be about 4m long. When driven down, these piles only affect the top layer of soil and cannot penetrate the hard soil layers below. Therefore, the construction method of this type of pile is called ” surface reinforcement “.

Bamboo piles, wooden piles and Melaleuca piles are often used to reinforce the surface when building houses in Ho Chi Minh City.

To increase efficiency, these types of piles are often driven in a spiral shape to temporarily stabilize the ground and reduce the risk of subsidence. However, they still cannot replace pre-stressed piles when constructing high-rise buildings or structures with large loads.

After reinforcing with bamboo piles or Melaleuca piles, it is necessary to pour a single foundation or strip foundation on top to increase the load-bearing capacity. This method is often applied to small structures with low loads .
