Pile driving is a construction method used to create deep foundations for buildings and other structures. It involves driving long, heavy columns called piles into the ground to support the weight of the structure above. Piles can be made from various materials, including wood, concrete, or steel, and are driven into the soil using a pile driver, which is a machine that delivers repeated blows to the top of the pile. The process of pile driving helps to transfer the load of the structure to deeper, more stable soil layers. This is especially important in areas with weak or unstable ground. Properly installed piles can enhance the stability and longevity of a structure, making pile driving a crucial technique in modern construction.
