Silent vibration free piling – (A low noise vibration free solution with the ability to work remotely wherever there’s restricted access)

We use state-of-the-art technology to offer Silent Piling solutions. This solution represents a means by which sheet piles can be installed with reduced noise and vibration, often called press-in piling or vibration-free piling. The press-in system operates by using the reaction from previously installed piles to resist the necessary force to drive the adjacent sheet piles. Press-in piling is an excellent method for avoiding noise and vibration problems when driving sheet piles at sensitive locations. Sheet piles can therefore be installed close to buildings and boundaries, ideally suited to create more usable space in basements in property development. This solution has the potential to offer major commercial benefits, which can be of more value than the cost of the
wall itself.

Our silent piling equipment presses each successive pile to full depth, using a pitch and drive procedure, whilst ‘walking’ on the previously installed piles. The sheet piles are fed by a crane into the enclosed chuck (or pressing jaws) of the machine. The machine can guide and align the piles without the need for piling gates or wailings. Accurate alignment is maintained by using a laser light beam focused on the leading interlock of the pile being driven. The machine then raises its body and travels forward to the next position, without the need for crane support.

Super crush piling solution- (Able to install sheet piles into hard ground, using virtually silent and vibration free Giken super crush technology)

We use Giken Super-crush Silent Piling technology – a further development of the vibration less piling process, utilising an integral rock auger housed inside a casing to penetrate hard ground. The press-in action is carried out while simultaneously extracting the auger. This technique enables silent piling into rock and allows sheet piles to be designed to take significant vertical loads.
This technology uses the unique concept of coring whereby the hydraulic press-in simultaneously takes place with augering. This makes sheet pile installation possible in very hard ground conditions, enabling the installation of sheet piles in otherwise impossible conditions. This method allows silent/vibration-free pile installation in both cohesive and cohesionless soils.
