A kind of ground treatment for strengthening the ground soil and makes it capable of supporting the load of building is called piling. It involves the driving of pile into ground below the ground level. Generally, concrete piles, timber piles, steel piles and bored piles are used to make the soil stronger for holding the weight of a building.

Piling Techniques. Piling techniques can be split into 2 categories; displacement and has its advantages and disadvantages but we at Tritech Ground Engineering Ltd. can find the right solution for your piling needs. Not all piling jobs are the same and they don't always fit neatly into the following categories so we will be happy to discuss your piling requirements depending.   Specification for Ground Treatment This book and its associated notes for guidance, have been developed as an authoritative and unifying statement of good practice in ground treatment work. The material has been brought together under the guidance of an ICE appointed team of engineers with wide experience and expertise in the field supported by. related to design and construction of driven pile foundations. Given the soft and compressible marine clays in the Boston area, driven pile foundations were selected to support specific structures, including retaining walls, abutments, roadway slabs, transition structures, and ramps.
