A Pile Cap is a thick reinforced-concrete block cast over the heads of a group of piles to tie them together and transfer column or wall loads onto the pile group. In data centers pile caps distribute the concentrated loads of frame columns and heavy equipment to the underlying piles, ensuring the group acts as a single foundation.
