What is pile driving?

Pile driving is the process of driving structural elements into the ground at the required angle using hydraulic hammers. It is generally preferred to create solid, fast and economical foundations on loose ground.

The elements used can be precast reinforced concrete piles, steel tubes, steel profiles and, in some cases, timber piles. As the most preferred practical foundation method, it lets us build durable structures both on land and when installing piers at sea — while making good use of labour and time.

Where it is used

Reaching firm ground beneath loose soil

One of the most important safety measures against earthquakes is making sure a structure sits on firm ground. When a structure is built on loose soil, driven foundation piles reach the firm stratum below so the structure can bear on it.

This need arises most often in marine and coastal construction, which is where pile driving is used most. Because it offers fast and economical solutions, it is now frequently preferred on land as well.
