I've been looking at effects of tunnel settlement on some old piled structures East of London. The drawings (dated 1957) show a 'Holmpress' pile, described as a 14 inch diameter reinforced concrete cast in situ pile, with 40 ton load capacity. Has anyone any information on this pile type ? Onlt thing I could find was a 'Pressure Piling' type bored pile in a 1965 copy of "Oscar Faber's Reinforced Concrete". This used a compressed air lock on top of the pile.

I'm not sure about this, but I think Holmpress was one of the companies that eventually became Keller Ground Engineering.
You could try their Coventry office on 024 7651 1266.
Unfortunately, as it's so long ago, they may not be able to help you.
