Piling

Piling is a fundamental construction technique employed to provide stable foundations for structures, particularly in situations where the soil conditions are less than ideal for shallow foundations. This method involves the installation of large, deep foundation elements known as piles, which are typically made of materials like concrete, steel, or timber. Piles are driven or drilled deep into the ground to reach more stable soil or rock layers, effectively transferring the structural load from the building to these deeper, load-bearing strata. Piling serves as a robust solution for high-rise buildings, bridges, and industrial structures. It ensures the long-term stability of the structure by preventing settlement and other issues associated with less stable surface soils. Pile foundations come in various types, such as driven piles, drilled piles, and helical piles, offering flexibility to accommodate different construction requirements.
