Working with challenging soils? Here are some quick tips to ensure stable foundations, operational efficiency, and compliance with industry standards:
Utilize tools like Cone Penetration Testing (CPT), Standard Penetration Testing (SPT), and ground-penetrating radar (GPR) to map subsurface conditions — ensuring informed pile placement and reducing risks of refusal or misalignment.
Choose pile types (e.g., steel H-piles for bouldery soils or dual rotary drills for loose sands) and drivers (e.g., vibratory or hydraulic impact hammers) tailored to specific soil challenges to enhance drivability and stability.
