Drop Hammer/Steel Cased Bottom Driven Piles
This method allows us to install metal tubes in the ground by dropping weight on them, constantly driving them down until the required depth is achieved. The tubes are then cut off to the correct height, reinforced and concreted. Driven metal casing piles are a good solution for the ground where loose material would not allow a borehole to be easily formed, once tubes have penetrated the ground surface they are then driven down into the virgin ground, where they start compacting the existing strata until they cannot be driven down any further. We provide diameters from 150mm up to 300mm. The piling rig that we use is a compacted 3-Ton rig with 780mm wide tracking access.
