Driven Piles Construction

Driven Piles Construction

1. Minimum Spoil

   • Reducing Disposal Costs

2. Low Vibration

   • Quiet, Lower Noise Pollution
   • Suitable to Environmentally Sensitive Sites

3. Construction is not too complex

   • Can be done as single piles
   • Can be done in groups for large scale construction
   • Construction Process - see Figure 2.1

4. Installed Quickly and Economically

   • When compared to conventional bored piles

5. Load-Bearing

   • High loads can be applied
   • High Shear Capabilities
   • High Moment Capabilities

6. Suitability

   • Wide range of challenging ground conditions
     • Sandy Gravel
     • Sand
     • Slit
     • Clay
     • Soft Organic Soils

7. Piling Rigs can be adapted

   • Allows for Operation in more cramped conditions
     • Low Headroom
     • Confined Spaces
