CONSTRUCTION OF UNDERGROUND FOUNDATIONS
1. Driving pile: Pile driving is a precast concrete pile that is lowered using kinetic energy from a hydraulic or diesel hammer mounted on the base machine's suspension platform.
Advantages: Simple construction operations, easy transportation; Can be constructed on many different terrains.
Disadvantages: Causes noise; Impact on neighboring structures; Diesel hammers can pollute the environment…
2. Pressing pile: Pressed piles are piles that are lowered using static energy, without causing momentum to the pile head. Pile driving is used by contractors and customers to overcome the disadvantages of hammer pile driving.
Advantages: Low cost; Can be constructed on small premises; Quality control is easy…
Disadvantages: Cannot construct piles with high load-bearing capacity or piles must penetrate bad/too thick soil; Preparing the site and transporting equipment takes a lot of time; Pile construction depth is at an average level
