Pile Driving

Driven piles are made of steel, wood, or concrete. These components are installed with an impact hammer and are used to support buildings, bridges, and industrial structures of any size.

Drilling

Concentric Drilling

This foundation method typically uses a DTH rig or crane to install pipe pile through almost any ground condition. A casing “shoe” is welded to a pipe pile casing and a rig bit installed. After this welding, a pilot bit is lowered through the pipe shaft and locked to the ring bit. Together they drill a hole large enough to allow the casing to be pulled into the hole.

Sheet Piles

These interlocking steel sections are driven in the ground with a vibratory or impact hammer and are used to support excavations or soil removal. They are common in both temporary and permanent applications. Because sheets make a continuous steel wall, they are useful in applications to stop water infiltration, loose soil infiltration, and migration of soils.

Soldier Piles

Soldier shoring consists of piles that are installed several feet from each other in a picket fence type of alignment. The piles are typically H beams that have been installed with a hammer or into pre-drilled shafts. Timber lagging is then installed between the H beams to restrain the soil. In some situations, deeper excavations may require tiebacks to be installed at the piles for additional soil support.
