The Federation of Piling Specialists (FPS) has published a new Reinforcement Handbook, providing the piling and geotechnical sectors with a practical industry reference on reinforcement cages for piles and diaphragm walls.

The handbook has been developed by a dedicated task group drawing upon the knowledge and experience of specialists from across the Federation’s membership.

Its publication reflects the FPS’s continuing commitment to sharing technical expertise, supporting good practice and providing accessible guidance for those involved in the design and delivery of piling and foundation works.

The FPS would like to thank everyone involved in the task group for the considerable time, expertise and collaborative effort invested in developing the handbook.

The Reinforcement Handbook is now available through the Technical guidance section of the FPS website.
