Title: Cost Effective Driven Piles


1
Cost Effective Driven Piles
  • Air Hammer
  • Diesel Hammer
  • Hydraulic Hammer

2
Air Hammer
Air is very compressible. Infinitely variable
stroke is not possible.
3
Air Hammer Operation
4
Hydraulic Hammers
Hydraulic oil is not compressible. Directional
changes can be instant. Infinitely variable
stroke is standard.
5
Air cylinder Hydraulic cylinder
6
Air versus Hydraulic- Volume
Lots of Air and lower pressure.
Not much hydraulic oil but higher pressures.
120 psi
Up to 5000 psi.
AIR
HYD
7
Diesel Hammers
8
Diesel Hammers
Good Points Light and powerful Longer
strokes Warns pile before striking it Drives
steel piles better in end bearing
situations Higher peak force No hoses No
external power source
Bad Points Stroke adjustment limited Starting
problems in soft soil Smoke is visible Spits
unburned fuel and oil Looks noisy
