Pile driving equipment is used in construction to drive piles into the ground, providing foundational support for buildings and structures. This equipment includes various types of hammers, such as vibratory hammers and impact hammers, which deliver force to the piles, ensuring they penetrate the soil effectively. The process typically involves a pile driver, a machine that lifts and drops the hammer onto the pile. Piles can be made of materials like wood, steel, or concrete, and are essential for transferring loads from structures to deeper, more stable soil layers. Proper use of pile driving equipment ensures safety and stability in construction projects.
