Different Types Of Pile Drivers And Its Uses

By Elizabeth Mitchell


Sometime it looks weird looking at equipment that are used in creating something knowing that only few people have enough knowledge how to use it and how it actually works. Some of these things are so big and looks overwhelming to be manipulate to begin with. One sample of such stuff are pile drivers which only few knows that plays great role in building a structure. This basically is being used by construction workers to pile the soil needed by the building so it can stand tall and strong. This is the main reason why even if this giant robot like thing seems odd, there still are production for pile driver sales.

There already has so many years that have passed since the very first of such kind was invented. The people who are behind its successful invention are those engineers and architects who are renowned on their fields. Because there were so may people that had been part of that project, the credits for its invention was divided to many talented and exceptional individuals.

In addition, pile drivers did not end up on one type alone because there were many of such type has been created. That is to support different needs of both the workers and the building they are creating. Some of its various types and their uses will be expounded below.

A diesel hammer is part of those modernly created drivers which is supported by an engine being powered by diesel fuel. On top of it is a connected apparatus to the cylinder. The process of its piledriving would initially start once a certain weight is raised.

That cable on the crane is the one responsible of holding its pile driver which draws air into that cylinder on top. The diesel will then be injected to the cylinder and the weight would drop through a quick release. The releasing of its weight would then ignite the fuel.

Next, there is a vertical travel lead systems which have been initially developed by the guy named C. W. Bermingham in year nineteen seventies. This system was solely developed so it can be of used for the operation that the current systems are limited to. Which means this thing has many advantage than that of older systems that were used before.

It has a hanging lead which can adapt to different elevation as well as batter piles though it would somehow take time to get into its position. But, even so this machine was created to ensure high accuracy when it comes to its positioning. This also has an ability to be adjusted up and down which is very convenient for those who are manipulating it.

Hydraulic press are installed by using a hydraulic rams which is being pressed on ground. This thing is actually preferable for vibration concerns. The press attachment on its machine makes is adaptable to conventional pile driving.

Now, a piling rig is useful for in having a better piling engineering as this can be applies in many soil types. Different requirements needed by structural foundations are often met by this kind of machine. There actually are quite handful of types of these equipment but these that have been mentioned are the commonly used ones.
