What are the issues with installing loops in wall piles and diaphragm walls
• What are the effects of transferring heat into piles to provide cooling?
• What are the effects of cooling piles to provide heating?
• What are the thermal effects of removing soil from one face to form basement?

Key Energy Pile® / Wall Research to date
• Brandl 2006 – reported on several projects across Austria concluded that shaft resistance, base pressure and bearing resistance of soil are not affected by heat absorption and that temperature induced settlement or heave negligible
• Laloui 2006 – Identified that the heating-cooling process of the building foundations induces significant modifications in the soil-structure leading to additional stresses in the piles, decrease of the lateral friction and the possibility of a gap between the pile and the soil
• Bourne Webb et al 2009 - temperature change in piles leads to increases and decreases in shaft resistance and axial load. Working stresses in pile should be kept low, and maintain high factor of safety on shaft to withstand heating and cooling loads

Key Lessons learnt• Ensure early coordination between all parties at all stages of
the project– Design team– Construction team
• Keep it simple – Minimise joints in loops where possible– Prefabricate loops– Pressure test loops at key stages
• Build-ability issues– Good Preparation– Good coordination between Contractors– Avoid men having to place hands in cages
