Impact driving is the best method for driving piles into difficult ground or final driving of piles to level in panel form. With a correctly selected and sized hammer it is the most effective way of completing deep penetration into hard soils in most conditions. The downside is that it can be noisy and not suitable for sensitive or restricted sites. There are several types of impact hammer available to suit the particular requirements of a site. Most impact hammers will involve a piston or ram and an anvil block with a driving cap which spreads the blow to the pile head. The machines are usually supported by a heavy frame or chassis and normally need leg guides or sleeve set up to fit snugly to the pile section being driven to maintain a vertical position during operation.
Sure is a pretty sound!!
