Driven Piles
I've been working a pile driving job recently. Wondering if any of you guys have experience or interest in this. I'll post pics if there's an interest.

Re: Driven Piles
ch0mpie,
What Horsepower are the piles? Are they automatic or standard transmission? Do you have really heavy rears in them? #65,000? What color are they? Do they have air conditioning?

Re: Driven Piles
first the load test. Looking for 90 tons, got 70. NYC code requires tests to go to 200% of the design load and to be held for 96 hours. Piles are tapered steel filled with concrete.

Re: Driven Piles
Rig is a Junttan. The hammer is hydralic, rated for about 55 ft-kips, but we were only using a 2 ft stroke.

Re: Driven Piles
Oooh, the sound track is "pounded"
into my memory! I can still remember the first time on one of Dad's jobs with a steam hammer! That's a sound you don't forget. Like the sound of an old Deere one lunger. Except not as pleasant.
