What is the procedure for piling?

Question

Accepted Answer

Piling is a procedure used in construction to create a deep foundation by driving or drilling piles into the ground.

Piling is used to transfer the load of a structure to deeper, more stable soil or rock layers.
The procedure for piling involves several steps such as site investigation, pile design, installation, and testing.
Site investigation includes soil testing to determine the type and properties of the soil.
Pile design involves determining the type, length, and diameter of piles based on the load requirements and soil conditions.
Piles can be driven into the ground using impact hammers or drilled using specialized equipment.
After installation, the piles are tested to ensure their load-bearing capacity meets the design requirements.
Examples of piling techniques include driven piles (such as timber, concrete, or steel piles) and drilled piles (such as bored piles or auger cast piles).
