Construction as a business needs so much high quality, large scale equipment. This is especially true when it comes to urbanization projects that include skyscrapers, bridges and so on. These machinery can range from back hoes to cranes to cement mixers. Whether you choose to buy them or rent them are a matter that should consider project budget and duration.

One process of making a building is digging and forming a solid foundation. Most often they use a galvanized pile driver. What this basically does is to drive piles and into the soil to provide support for the building foundation.This is often utilized for deep foundations and not for shallow ones that are often used for houses and low level buildings.

The higher the building goes, the deeper its foundations need to be. This serves the purpose of efficiently distributing the load on different parts of the structure to make sure it is safe. Driving pole like materials that get integrated into the overall structure into to subsoil makes sure that the footing is stable. This become possible with caissons, impact driven piles, helical piles and earth stabilized columns are used.

Reinforced concrete, steel, timber and other strong materials are used as the skeletal system that uses the driver for it to be dug deep into the ground. It does not only limit to the vertical pole but other parts are composed of the cap, the pile, grade beam and then the wall. This makes sure that the weight of the other materials in the building are properly distributed.

Two ways of installing piles are available. First there is boring and second, driving. The driver is meant to cast the pole in the yard and drive it down to the soil.This is only one type of two for driving methods which is called the driven pre cast pile. There is also the driven cast in situ pile. For boring two options are also available.

Choosing which way of installing the foundation has to be calculated depending on certain factors. These can range from the stratas, the supposed height of the building and the quality of soil. Suppose you were building a skyscraper in Dubai, where the soil is loose because it is sand. The piling method may be different.

A procedure needs to be undergone before there is approval for usage and pile driving that happens in the lot. This is approval coming from the engineer and needs some form of evaluation before the contractors can proceed. The driver is composed of parts and the engine that powers it can vary in efficiency. Using which hammer type also depends on the engineer in charge.

The most efficient one with a percentage of 95 is the hydraulic or diesel powered one with a built in energy measurement. Others types include drop, single or double acting air or steam, diesel and lastly vibratory or sonic powered ones. The drop hammer has the lowest efficiency rate since it is only powered by gravity controlling the height of the equipment and just dropping it into the yard.

Using one of these equipment is not as simple as driving a huge truck.The whole process of using this is a matter of engineering that would depend on the building plan. The machinery itself also vary in structure depending on what type you are planning to use on the project. Rest assured that if you plan to rent a service for this, qualified contractors and drivers are available to do the job.
