Driven piles are installed using a casing pipe.

Soil investigation reports guide the process, primarily based on the N-value.

A single acting drop hammer drives the casing pipe into the ground.

The height of fall for the hammer is determined by soil compaction levels.

Soil investigation reports, utilizing N-values, dictate the necessary hammer fall height.

At Universal Foundation Company, we face hard strata where penetration slows. We pour concrete via chute cart and extract casing while tamping for efficient installation.

At Universal Foundation Company, we specialize in installing driven piles using a single-acting drop hammer to drive a casing pipe into the ground. The required height of fall for the hammer is determined by the compactness of the soil strata, as indicated in the soil investigation report through N-values. Upon reaching firm stratum with minimal penetration per blow (referred to as "set"), concrete is poured down the casing pipe via a chute cart while gradually extracting the pipe and concurrently tamping the hole

​

The three primary benefits are.

• We evaluate compaction levels by monitoring the number of blows needed to maintain consistent penetration depth during tube driving.

• Soil compaction through tube driving enhances friction capacity, contributing to increased pile stability.

• Tamping during tube extraction creates serrations on the pile shaft, facilitating effective mobilization of shaft friction.
