What is Piling?
Piling involves the installation of long, slender columns (piles) deep into the ground to transfer the load of a structure to more stable soil or rock layers below the surface. This technique is vital for preventing settlement, ensuring safety, and extending the lifespan of a building.
Driven Piling
Overview: This method involves driving steel or concrete piles into the ground using a hydraulic hammer.
Applications: Ideal for construction sites with loose, waterlogged, or weak soil.
Benefits: Quick installation and excellent load-bearing capacity.
Mini Piling
Overview: This technique utilizes smaller, lighter equipment to install piles in areas with limited access.
Applications: Perfect for urban environments or existing buildings where space is tight.
Benefits: Less invasive and efficient for smaller projects.
Bored Piling
Overview: Bored piles are created by drilling a hole into the ground, which is then filled with concrete.
Applications: Suitable for tight sites or where vibration and noise must be minimized.
Benefits: Greater control over pile placement and reduced disturbance to surrounding structures.
