1. INTRODUCTIONPiles are used to transfer loads to a deeper bearing strata, support structures on soil too weak forspread footings and/or protect against scour. Pile driving is unique in the construction industry,in that the machinery used to install the product is a vital part of inspecting and verifying theinstallation.Piles are the starting point for the structure construction and provide the support. Therefore, pilesthat ar
