Centrum Pæle A/S in Vejle, Denmark As a part of our consistent efforts to optimise
manufactures precast reinforced concrete the product and its competitiveness, we
piles. The company dates back to 1882. In have developed and patented our own pile
1965, the present company was founded as an splice. The CPG Pile Splice was developed
independent public limited company with the with a focus on making a safe and reliable
primary purpose of manufacturing concrete connection between two piles, but just as
piles. Today the group consists of 5 factories important – to make a pile splice that is quick
around Europe with a total production capacity and easy to work with on a construction site
of more than 3.5 million linear meters of precast and would help in reducing the total time
concrete piles. spent on installing each pile.
The CPG Pile Splices are manufactured in a fully The properties of the CPG Pile Splices are
automated production process with 6 robots, tested and documented according to the pile
to ensure high productivity and standardised standard EN 12794 as a class A pile splice,
quality. The individual serial numbers and which means it can be used for hard pile
barcodes furthermore ensure full traceability driving without losing its properties. The CPG
on all parts included in each splice. Pile Splice is tested, and CE type approved, and
the production is controlled of the recognised
German “Materialprüfanstalt für das Bauwesen
– TU Braunschweig”.

Capacities
Compression & tensile capacity
Centrum Pæle pile splices have been tested according to standard EN 12794:2005
+A1:2007/AC:2008 and categorised as Class A.
The static load bearing capacities of the pile splices are shown in Table 1. The
capacities have been calculated according to Eurocodes with the recommended
values of correlation and partial factors and may thus have to be adjusted according
to the respective national annexes.
Table 1: Product range with maximum load bearing capacity for pile splices. Annex B9
and B11 applies to pile splices with increased concrete cover.
Splice
* The tension capacity has to be reduced with a factor 0.88 for the CPG-K6 and CPG-K8
pile splice in combination with C40/50 concrete. For full tension capacity for the CPG-K6
and CPG-K8 pile splice the length of the reinforcement has to be 900mm.
Basis of Design
The calculation of the pile splices complies with the following building regulations and assumptions:
EN 1992-1-1 Eurocode 2: Design of concrete structures; Part 1-1:
General rules and rules for buildings
EN 1993-1-1 Eurocode 3: Design of steel structures, Part 1-1:
General rules and rules for buildings
EN 1993-1-8 Eurocode 3: Design of steel structures; Part 1-8:
Design of splices
EN 206-1 Concrete - Part 1: Specification, performance, production and conformity
EN 12794 Precast concrete products - Foundation piles
EN 10080 Steel for the reinforcement of concrete - Weldable reinforcing steel - General
Concrete design compressive and tensile strength is determined according to EN 1992-1-1, section 3.1.6
using:
Lap length between splice reinforcement and main reinforcement of the pile has been calculated
according to EN 1992-1-1, section 8.4 provided good bond conditions, straight anchorage type and
reinforcement bar in tension. In order to meet these assumptions, the following coefficients have been
used:
The required length of reinforcement needed to obtain the maximum tension capacity of the pile
splice given in Table 1 is l0 = 800mm.
For easy and cost-efficient transport, the pile splices are packed without rebars on pallets.
