Piling is a type of deep foundation work used in construction to transfer the load of a building or structure deep into the ground when the surface soil is not strong or stable enough.
A pile is a long, slender column typically made of concrete, steel, or timber, driven or drilled deep into the ground to support structures like buildings, bridges, towers, etc.
Based on Installation:
Driven Piles: Precast piles driven into the ground using a hammer (e.g., steel H-piles, timber piles)
Bored (Cast-in-situ) Piles: Holes are drilled and then filled with concrete and reinforcement
Based on Function:
End-bearing piles: Transfer load to a hard soil or rock layer at the bottom
Friction piles: Transfer load through skin friction with the surrounding soil
Combination (end-bearing + friction): Common in many projects
Based on Material:
Concrete piles (precast or cast-in-situ)
Steel piles (pipe piles, H-piles)
Timber piles (for temporary or light structures)
Site investigation: Determine soil capacity and depth
Pile design: Based on load calculations and soil data
Installation:
Driven piles: Driven with a piling rig or hammer
Bored piles: Drilled using auger machines, reinforced, and concreted
Pile testing: Load tests ensure capacity and safety
Pile cap construction: Connects the pile group and transfers load to superstructure
