Miniature pile drivers pre-determine pile lengths
Southern Railroad is using three miniature pile drivers, which drive pointed steel rods, to determine foundation conditions in advance, as reckoned from rate of driving or depth of penetration of rods; use of information enables accurate forecasting of proper lengths of piles to use, bearing capacity of piles for each foot of penetration, and safe bearing load of soil when designing mass foundations; machines successfully used in determining subgrade conditions in sliding fills.
