Top Pile Driving from pmgsocial media's blog

As mentioned, pile driving plays an important role in marine construction, especially in areas like bridge construction and cofferdam construction.  For bridge construction, pile driving is employed where scour protection is needed or where other foundation materials won’t provide adequate support for direct bearing footings. Steel beams (h-piles and wide flange beams) or concrete sheet piles are common in the building of bridges. The type of hammer used to drive piles for bridge applications is most often one with the heaviest amount of ram that can be applied without damage to the pile itself. Hydraulic, air/steam, gravity, and diesel hammers are common - pile driving.

A cofferdam is a temporary enclosure built within a body of water that allows water to be pumped out of the area to create a dry surface on which to build. Pile driving is instrumental in the creation of cofferdams. Typically, sheet piles and pipe piles are driven during the construction of a cofferdam. Sheet piles, along with a steel bracing system, help create the overall structure of the cofferdam. Pipe piles are essential to the successful construction of a cofferdam’s foundation, and they are ordinarily driven using hydraulic hammers or diesel hammers unless another type of hammer is better suited to the project - pier construction.

In addition to being useful in cofferdam and bridge construction, pile driving is also widely employed in the construction of marinas, harbors, quay walls, bulkheads, and. Wherever a stronger foundation is needed, pile driving can be of service. Our pile-driving material inventory ranges from wide flange beams to h piles, to sheet piles, and everything in between. In addition, our pile driving equipment inventory include pile drivers, pile drivers, and much more. For more information please visit our site https://www.Pacificmaritimegroup.com/
