Foundation constructed in site visit Type: Concrete square pile(Precast concrete pile) They are square in sizes and reinforced by rebar. The typical cross-sectional dimensions range from 25 to 41 centimeters and bearing capacities from 45 to 5 00 tons. ea FOUNDATION Precast details General info: Precast Concrete Piles may be defined as a reinforced concrete pile, which is molded in circular, square, rectangular or octagonal form. The precast concrete piles are cast and cured in a casting yard and then transported to the site for driving. In case space is available, pile can also be cast and cured near the site of works. They are driven in a similar manner as piles with the help of pile driver . The diameter of the pile normally varies 1mm 35 cm to 65 cm and their length varies from 45 in to 30 m. Advantages: Cost saving compare to other types of piling. High load capacity and corrosion resistance Disadvantages: High breakage rates Vulnerability to damage associated with handling Type of machine used: Pile Drive A pile driver hammers a precast concrete pile into the ground. The pile is supported by the vertical structure of the pile driver and driven by heavy piston mechanism that follows it down the leads as it penetrates deeper into soil.

Precast detailsGeneral info:Precast Concrete Piles may be defined as a reinforced concrete pile, which is molded in circular, square, rectangular or octagonal form. The precast concrete piles are cast and cured in a casting yard and then transported to the site for driving. In case space is available, pile can also be cast and cured near the site of works. They are driven in a similar manner as piles with the help of pile driver. The diameter of the pile normally varies 1mm 35 cm to 65 cm and their length varies from 45 in to 30 m.

Advantages:• Cost saving compare to other types of

piling.• High load capacity and corrosion

resistanceDisadvantages:

• High breakage rates• Vulnerability to damage associated with

handling

Type of machine used: Pile Drive

A pile driver hammers a precast concrete pile into the ground. The pile is supported by the vertical structure of the pile driver and driven by heavy piston mechanism that follows it down the leads as it penetrates deeper into soil.
