New Horizons in Piling: Development and Application of Press-in Piling

The piling industry has developed press-in piling technologies to mitigate noise and vibration nuisance. This book focuses on the Walk-on-Pile type press-in piling system, which offers an alternative engineering solution for piling works. It features the application of a compact piling machine using pre-installed piles as a reaction force to jack in a new pile by hydraulic pressure. This allows piling in limited space and headroom with minimum disruption to social functions and services of existing infrastructure. The book provides a historical development of press-in piling, challenging applications worldwide, and scientific research outcomes, making it a valuable reference for readers interested in press-in piling.

The piling industry has recently witnessed the emergence of a diverse range of press-in piling technologies, aimed at mitigating noise and vibration nuisance. This comprehensive book specifically delves into the Walk-on-Pile type press-in piling system, offering an innovative engineering solution for piling works. This unique piling system boasts several distinctive features, including the utilization of a compact piling machine powered by pre-installed piles as a reaction force to jack in a new pile through hydraulic pressure. Moreover, the machine's ability to traverse along the top of already installed piles enables piling in confined spaces and with limited headroom, minimizing disruptions to social functions and services of existing infrastructure. These groundbreaking features are paving the way for novel applications of embedded walls, previously deemed impossible.

This introductory book serves as a comprehensive resource, providing a historical overview of press-in piling and showcasing numerous challenging applications across the globe. It also encompasses scientific research outcomes, making it an invaluable reference for readers who are new to press-in piling, including project owners, design engineers, practical engineers, researchers, and students. By delving into the intricacies of this technology, readers will gain a deeper understanding of its potential applications and the opportunities it presents in the construction industry.
