Plastic piling enjoys considerable success within water related industries and Liniar uses this experience to benefit other industries including the highways industry.
A major third party independent testing programme was conducted by the Transport Research Laboratory (TRL). Although this was aimed largely at highway applications this report tested the mechanical properties and durability of plastic piling from around the world and subsequently went on to recommend potential uses for plastic piling, primarily in the highways area.

Plastic piling from Liniar was specified by the local authority in Newport Pagnell to prevent bank erosion and maintain a safe carriageway that runs adjacent to a stream. Morcon Foundations of Derby installed 92 metres of piling, which is an environmentally friendly and lightweight solution.
Morcon’s Contract Manager said:
“with the correct type of hammer for the soil conditions, plastic sheet piles are quick and easy to install and cutting the tops to the finished line is a simple task”
Similar in appearance to some steel piles, the Liniar uPVC full pan pile provides a watertight and maintenance free alternative. Surprisingly strong, the plastic piling can be tied back and has been tested in accordance with ISO 9002.
