Pile driving and foundation drilling are practical applications of geotechnical engineering that are crucial for establishing robust structures. Pile driving is a process of transferring a structure’s load past the less stable soil layers closer to the surface—down to the more substantial strata that lie beneath. Foundation drilling involves crafting a custom sub-surface profile that aligns perfectly with a structure’s design and load requirements. The choice between these methods is informed by the comprehensive geotechnical assessment of the site.
