Driving Precast concrete Pile using Hydraulic Hammer
Precast Concrete Pile Construction Procedure
Before commencing the pile driving process, methods to protect the head of the pile from shattering must be decided. This can be determined from the end bearing requirements and driving conditions.
It should be ensured that the pile has gained its full strength prior to the commencement of construction.
Place precast concrete pile on the designated location.
Force the pile into the ground with an impact pile driving hammer
Special timber packing or a synthetic cushion block lends adequate protection to the pile head during driving.
With control of driving achieved by measuring the set, the pile is driven into the resistive soil layer to a depth equal to one time the pile diameter.
