Much like when you take a hammer to nail something into a wall, the pile driver uses, in most cases, a hydraulic hammer to place the pile into the ground. Depending on the soil type, more or less force is used to drive it properly into the ground.

What is the process of piling?

Piling is the process of inserting structural piles into the ground that will become the base of the building. Piles are required where soil and earth are performing poorly and are used to spread the load of a building and firm the ground.

How is piling done in construction?

Piling works by inserting large amounts of wood, steel or concrete into the soil of the ground. The deep insertion of these elements ensures a sturdier base for the construction project to take place.
