Helical pile driver



Professional pile foundation installation requires a tool that is highly reliable, generates sufficient force to drive the pile into any soil, and is also compact, easily transportable, and self-contained. A helical pile driver perfectly meets these requirements.

It consists of a hydraulic gearbox with a removable stop that directly rotates the pile, and a mobile hydraulic unit connected to the gearbox via flexible hoses.

The gearbox is mounted on the pile using an adapter of the appropriate diameter. A stop rod is connected to it, preventing the mechanism from rotating around its axis. Typically, a starter pile is driven in slightly to the side first, which is used as a stop during installation of the first pile in the pile field. Next, adjacent already driven piles are used as stops, for which a special attachment is placed on them (it is visible in the video, and supports the rod). A gasoline-powered hydraulic unit pumps hydraulic fluid through the hoses, transmitting force from the hydraulic pump to the gearbox. It features adjustable speed and direction of rotation. Torque, depending on the design, ranges from 7,000 Nm to 9,000 Nm, or even higher.

A portable hydraulic pile driver is used to install pile foundations in the vast majority of cases:

- under fences, gates (sliding and swing), and wickets;

- under gazebos, verandas, summer kitchens, and sheds;

- under garages, utility buildings, sheds, and workshops;

- under timber houses, SIP panels, frame houses, and other types of houses;

- under greenhouses and hothouses (both garden and industrial);

- under docks, piers, and marinas;

- under pedestrian bridges, decks, and stairs;

- under flagpoles, lighting masts, and power line supports; - for open (aboveground) pipelines;

- for industrial facilities (tanks, towers, hangars, and warehouses);

- for security posts, barriers, advertising media, bus stop shelters, and much more.

Larger facilities requiring higher productivity are typically serviced by tracked or pneumatic pile drivers.

Pros and Cons of a Pile Garage

Building a pile garage is becoming an increasingly popular solution for landowners, especially in suburban and rural areas. Screw piles allow for a quick and efficient foundation that doesn't require extensive excavation. In this article, we'll cover the steps for building a pile garage, from choosing the right structure to installing the floor. Types of Garages on Pile Foundations The main types include: • Frame garage. A lightweight structure, suitable for private homes. It can be erected quickly and relatively inexpensively. • Permanent garage made of brick or block. These garages are heavier, but are highly durable and long-lasting. A properly designed foundation is required for their construction on piles. • Metal garage. These structures are typically made of sheet metal; they are lighter than permanent structures but require corrosion protection. • Insulated garage. This type of garage requires insulation and can be used as a workshop even in winter. Each typ...

House Foundation on a Slope: Construction Considerations on Uneven Sites

When planning to build a house foundation on a slope, it's important to consider a number of factors associated with uneven sites. The slope of the site significantly impacts the choice of foundation and installation technology. Proper design and installation are key to the durability and reliability of the structure, reducing the risk of erosion, subsidence, and deformation. This article will cover site analysis, selection of foundation type, and its installation. Site Analysis Before Building a Foundation on a Slope Before construction, it's necessary to conduct a detailed site analysis, which includes: 1. Soil type and characteristics. Different soil types influence the final foundation choice. For example, clay soils are susceptible to erosion, while sandy soils are prone to subsidence. A well-researched survey will help you assess the bearing capacity and stability of the soil. 2. Geodetic surveys. These studies help determine the location and stability of all poin...
