Piledriver

A piledriver is a powerful machine used in construction to drive large steel or concrete piles into the ground, providing foundational support for buildings, bridges, or other structures. It typically consists of a tall frame, a heavy weight (or hammer), and a mechanism to lift and drop the weight onto the pile, forcing it deep into the soil. Pile drivers are essential for creating stable foundations in areas with soft or unstable ground, ensuring the safe and durable support of structures. They come in various types, including hydraulic, diesel, and steam-powered, depending on the project's needs.
