Piling

At TecRadon, we use some of the modern analytical and geotechnical methods available to carry out piling operations. Piling is the process of driving or boring long, slender columns (known as piles) deep into the ground using a piling rig to form a deep foundation for buildings, bridges or other structures. Pile foundations are installed by geotechnical engineers and piling specialists along a certain area to carry and transfer the load to the solid ground located at a depth.

Accurate prediction of the performance of piles during driving requires modeling of the dynamic response of the soil around (and, for open-ended pipe piles, inside) the pile, both along the shaft and at the base. Our specialist contractors exercise considerable skill in adapting methods of working to enable sound piles to be formed even in the most forbidding ground conditions with advanced safety protocols in place.

State-of-the-art designs and detailed plans and specifications coupled with good construction supervision ensure we achieve desired results. Post construction review of pile driving results versus predictions regarding pile penetration resistances, pile lengths, field problems, and static and/or dynamic load test form essential part of our piling procedures. Diesel hammers, vertical travel lead systems, hydraulic hammers, hydraulic press-ins, and vibratory pile drivers/extractors are our armaments in this field of engineering and construction.
