Pile driving

The first task was pile driving for the building foundations, and in a four month period we drove 650 piles. The contract was for 492 piles, but on account of the soil conditions a further 158 piles were required.

During the work we encountered some old foundations, which caused some of the piles to snap. The piles are 30x30 cm in cross section and vary in length from 6 to 12 metres. We used a PM 25 HD pile driver with a 5 ton accelerated hammer and a dead weight of 70 tons.

Exclusive apartments
