Tapered Steel Piles

Tapered Steel Piles

Tapered Steel Piles

(OP)
Can anyone provide me some information about tapered steel piles. I'm mostly looking for manufacturers but any other info will also be helpful.

I know that traditionally tapered piles have been timber because of the natural taper but I am working with a structural engineer and he is showing loads that are too high for timber but might work with steel. However, we are in very weak soils and the tapered shape adds a lot to the geotechnical capacity.

Thank you!
