The Advantages of Driven Piling

By 27/04/2023June 13th, 2023No Comments

If you’re looking into driven piling, then you have certainly come to the right place! Make sure to read on as today we are going over some of the many benefits that driven piling can offer for your project…

Firstly, what is a driven pile? A driven pile is a type of pile – a long stilt that is placed into a building’s foundations to help support the structure – that is ‘driven’ into the earth through an impact force delivered by a piling rig either hammering or vibrating the pile into the ground.

  1. Driven piles are simple and easy to set up!

One of the best benefits of choosing this form of piling is that they are easier to install than you think! Because of their ability to be created way before installation, driven piles can allow an easier solution for contractors if they’re wanting an organised and problem-free way to install building piles. Driven piles can be utilised in areas where the ground isn’t suitable or safe enough to use other methods of piling without running the risk of releasing pressurised water underground.

  1. Driven piles are versatile

From the selection of materials that can be used to the method of installing driven piles, contractors have a lot of options to choose from when it comes to driven piling projects. Driven piles can be made from a variety of materials such as steel, timber, or concrete. They may also be installed using a choice of hammers such as diesel, compressed air, or hydraulics. Driven piles can be created to tailor the requirements of your project which is such an amazing benefit if you’re on a project that may have problematic groundwork.

  1. Driven piles are a time-saving option

Our last benefit is probably the most important, they can save so much time on a project. As mentioned earlier, driven piles can be pre-cast. This means they are made off-site at a specialised company and are then sent over to your project. As these piles are made in advance, there is a slim chance of any errors occurring.
