Why Is Tavernier Piling Selected For Solid Construction Results?

Tavernier piling foundations can take on huge weight, but for such construction projects, careful designing is most important. The engineers first examine the soil for construction to prevent overloading. Consideration of the bearing capacity of the soil and the piling is a critical part of pre-construction checking. There is an influence zone available for the piles based upon the surrounding soil. The engineers take due care in spacing the piles adequately to ensure an even distribution of load across the whole soil bulb carrying this. It does not remain limited to few areas only.

Engineers then group the Tavernier piles together and then top this with pile caps. This refers to a thick concrete cap, extending over the small pile group. It works as the base for the column construction. The distribution of the column load is across each pile in a group. There are two ways to construct the piles such as the following:

• Cast-in-place variety: this involves hammering of steel tube with thin wall inside the ground followed by the removal of soil present inside this tube. Now the technicians lower the steel-reinforced cage inside the tube and cast the piling by pouring the wet concrete inside the tube. The other name for this steel thin-walled tube is the casing and this forms the part of Tavernier piling construction. This forms secure mold to cast concrete freed for the earth. It does not have a structured role after the completion of casting. Some soil types are quite cohesive and hole inside the soil holds the shape and is resistant to collapse that might otherwise block the hole. With on-site soil present, the casing does not have to be in place but instead use this for drilling the pile hole followed by its removal. The subsequent step is casting the Tavernier piles and this saves money because the technicians can use the casing tube to drill the holes for each pile.

• Precast: this is at the ground level and the works hammer and drive this in the ground with the help of pile drivers. The driver is the machine holding the pile in a vertical position for hammering inside the ground with blows. For striking the blow they use heavy weights, lifting these and then dropping over the piles on its top. They use a temporary steel cap on the pile as this prevents disintegration. The function of the pile driver is two-fold that of working as lifting equipment like the crane that lifts the Tavernier Piling from horizontal position upon the ground, rotating this in the vertical position. There is now hammering of the pile inside the ground.

The hammering of the piles into the soil should be right up to the time of refusal when it is not possible to drive this any further. To read more Click Here
