Types of Piles for Pile Driving:

Sheet Piles

Our pile driving company installs sheet piles using hydraulic rams to press piles into the ground. This system is preferred where vibration is a concern. This system allows for greater press-in and extraction force to be used since more reaction force is developed. The reaction based machines operate at low dB per ft allowing for installation and extraction of piles in very close proximity to noise and vibration sensitive areas where traditional methods may threaten the stability of existing structures.

H-Piles / Round Piles

H-Piles are dimensionally square structural beams that are driven in the ground for deep foundation applications. Most soils at or near surface do not have the mechanical properties to support large buildings. H-Piles are manufactured and designed to transfer structural loads to these good bearing soils.

Pin Piles

Also known as mini piles, micro piles, needle piles, or root piles, pin piles offer alternatives to conventional piling techniques, particularly in restricted access or low headroom situations. They involve increasing degrees of soil compaction where the soil is too weak to carry the loads of a convention press pile. Pin piles are drilled and grouted reinforced piles typically used for structural support where conventional deep foundation elements cannot be installed due to project constraints such as limited work space or where heavy machinery cannot be used.
