How Blow Counts are Measured for Pile Installation
One of the most critical aspects is the accurate and consistent blow counts of these excavator-mounted vibrators during pile installation. Blow count refers to the number of hammer strikes required to drive a pile a certain distance into the ground. Accurate blow counts are essential to ensure the pile is driven to the precise construction design requirements. As licensed and certified special inspectors, we carefully monitor and record this information to ensure that the pile is being driven to depths where resistance exceeds specified requirements.
The Importance of Excavator-Mounted Vibrators During Pile Driving
As well as blow counts, we also pay close attention to the use of vibrators during the pile driving process. Excavator-mount vibrators are used for vibratory pile driving of construction pile profiles. These vibrators are used to help remove air pockets and compact the soil around the pile, which is essential for the pile to bear the weight of the structure. We make sure that the vibrator is being used correctly and at the appropriate phase during the pile driving process to ensure that the pile is properly installed and that the structure is safe and reliable.
Applications for Pile Driving in Cement and Concrete Construction
The applications for pile driving are numerous and can include structures such as freeway overpasses, on-ramps, high-speed rail, monorail, steel high-tension power poles, bridges, piers, and marinas, as well as structures in locations where soil is compromised. In each of these applications, it is essential to have experienced and knowledgeable Pile Driving Inspectors on site to ensure that the construction project meets or exceeds the highest engineering standards.
