What Marine Pile Drivers Are Used For
by Michael King
Piles are driven into the ground so that they can offer structures such as houses support using a piece of mechanical equipment called a pile driver. The crew that works with pile-driving rigs may also be referred to using this term. The use of these devices may be in water or on land. When they are use in aquatic settings, they go by the name <a href="http://www.piledriver.org">marine pile drivers</a>.
Many people have laid claim to the invention of this machine. Drawing dating back as early as 1475 show that it was already existing. Some of the people to whom credit for invention has been given include Leonardo da Vinci, James Valoue, James Nasmyth, and Count Giovan Battista Gazzola.
Despite credit being given to many recent inventors, some other evidence shows that the Crannogs of Oakbank and the Loch Tay of Scotland were constructed using a similar instrument. The ages of the Lock Tay and Crannogs are very old with estimation placing them over 5000 years. In the US, credit for the invention of the steam types goes to an individual called Otis Tufts. It is hard to pinpoint the actual inventor or the time of invention for that matter following the mix-up in history.
Today, the number of pile drivers in existence are many. Traditionally, weights in this system were lifted using animals and human labor. Pulleys facilitated the process of lifting the weights. Today, advancements in technology have allowed for the development of more effective methods of lifting and guiding weights. Some major types of piling machine in existence today are diesel hammer, hydraulic press-in, vibratory pile driver/extractor, vertical travel lead systems, and hydraulic hammer.
A diesel hammer refers to a big two-stroke diesel engine. It comprises of a piston, which also forms the weight/pile and a cylinder which connects to the weight. The process starts by the use of auxiliary means to lift the weight, which is then dropped through quick-release. The weight is driven back up by energy derived from the ignited diesel fuel. The process of raising and dropping the weight occurs in form of a repeating cycle.
The short form for the term vertical travel lead is VTL. The vertical travel lead method was developed in the 70s. The inventor is Bermingham who went ahead to patent the invention after developing the machine. Its suitability is high in regions with flat terrains with no obstructions. The fixed lead system and swinging lead system had limitations that VTL was invented to counter.
The hydraulic hammer is a piling equipment with a short history. It finds use in driving piles made of timber, steel pipe, and precast concrete. The level of noise and pollution is very low, making it environmentally friendly. Noise is often generated from impact among components and between hammers and piles.
Hydraulic press-in is another contemporary device that installs piles using hydraulic rams. The preference of this method is higher in places where vibration needs to be minimized. In most countries, there are companies that lease piling devices to members of the public. Most governments also maintain fleets of their own.
