Abu Dhabi / London – NSCC International and Hiperpile Limited, are pleased to announce a new partnership agreement for the marketing, design and installation of Hiperpile technologies across the GCC region.

The partnership brings together Hiperpile’s award-winning low-carbon foundation technology with NSCC’s regional expertise, operational capability and delivery experience, creating a platform to support the adoption of more sustainable foundation solutions across major developments in the Middle East.

Hiperpile is an innovative combined structural and green-energy foundation system that significantly reduces concrete and reinforcement volumes when compared with traditional bored piles, while also enabling renewable energy capture and storage within the foundations themselves.

Following initial studies and joint technical assessments, both parties believe Hiperpile offers significant benefits for the GCC market, including:

  • Enhanced structural efficiency and performance
  • Improved operational output
  • Increased safety for construction operatives
  • Reduced embodied carbon
  • Fewer vehicle movements to site
  • The ability to provide highly efficient cooling systems to buildings, saving operational cost

The partnership has been established to ensure Hiperpile is verified, tested and approved for use in the region, providing clients with confidence when considering the solution for future projects. The longer-term ambition is to introduce Hiperpile’s wider suite of Hiper foundation and energy solutions to the GCC market.

About Hiperpile

Hiperpile was awarded the prestigious ICE London Brunel Medal in 2025 for its contribution to low carbon solutions in the built environment. The system has undergone extensive testing and successful trials, including deployment at NEOM’s THE LINE project over the past two years.

Delivery in the GCC will be supported by Hiperpile’s combined in-house structural and geotechnical design teams, enabling the provision of robust, cost-effective alternative foundation solutions tailored to regional project requirements.
