Pile drivers, piling rigs, pile driving rigs

Pile drivers or piling rigs are mechanical devices used to drive long, slender poles (piles) made of wood, steel, or concrete, into the ground to provide foundation support for buildings, bridges, and other structures. Piles are mainly used in construction to transfer a structure’s load to deeper, more stable soil layers, which helps prevent the structure from settling or collapsing.

Types of Pile Drivers

Pile drivers are classified based on the way they deliver the driving force to the pile.

• Impact pile drivers: These are the most common type of piling rigs and are used to drive a variety of pile types by utilizing an impact hammer.
• Vibratory pile drivers: These are used to drive piles into soil that is not too hard or rocky and they operate by vibrating the pile at a high frequency.
• Hydraulic pile drivers: These use hydraulic pressure to drive piles into the ground and are often used for driving steel piles.
• Screw pile drivers: These are used to drive screw-like piles into the ground and are typically used in situations where the soil is soft or unstable.

Technical Specifications of Pile Driving Rigs

There are several factors to consider when evaluating different pile drivers:

Pile size and type: This refers to the size and material of the piles that the pile driver is designed to handle.

Driving depth: This applies to the maximum depth to which the pile driver can drive the piles.

Power source: Pile drivers can be powered by diesel engines, hydraulic motors, electric motors, or a combination of these.

Capacity: This refers to the maximum load that the pile driver can handle.
