3 Facts About Steel Pressed Pilings
Pilings come in a few different materials and shapes and can be installed under foundations in different ways as well. While concrete pilings are most common, steel pilings are also used regularly in both home and non-residential construction. Here are three things you may not have known about steel-pressed pilings:
- Steel pilings are referred to as “pressed” when they are pushed into the ground using a small piece of machinery known as a hydraulic ram. Using the structure as leverage piles are forced into the ground.
- In certain types of soil situations, steel pilings may be beneficial in achieving greater depth.
- Installation of steel-pressed pilings is easy and, in most cases, can take just one or two days for a piling job to be completed successfully.
