Understanding what a pile driver is: Common types of pile drivers

To ensure safety for projects with adjacent buildings, pile drivers are often used to create a solid foundation. Let’s explore the details about pile drivers in the article below.

Concept of a Pile Driver

A pile driver is a machine specifically used in construction projects to create a solid foundation. “Pile” or “steel sheet pile” is another term for this equipment.

Using a pile driver helps ensure the safety of the construction project, preventing issues like sinking or tilting. Choosing to use a pile driver is also a way to reduce accidents while boosting work efficiency.

In terms of how it works, a pile driver uses hydraulic cylinders to generate compressive force for driving steel piles deep into the ground. This process involves driving the piles along the four corners of the project site and connecting U-shaped steel bars to keep the earth stable and prevent erosion during construction.
