Pneumatic piling hammer for submersion pilings
A piling hammer is disclosed. The piling hammer includes a sleeve for securely fitting around a top end of a piling, a hammer located on top of the sleeve, a first and second pneumatic cylinder secured to the sleeve and hammer, a first and second valve pneumatically coupled to the first and second pneumatic cylinders, and a pneumatic controller configured for detecting that the hammer is at a bottom position, activating the first and second valves to route pressurized gas from the pressurized gas source to the first and second pneumatic cylinders, thereby causing the hammer to rise upwards, detecting that the hammer is at a top position, activating the first and second valves to expel pressurized gas from the first and second pneumatic cylinders, thereby causing the hammer to strike the sleeve and drive the piling downwards.
