Pile Driving time at Pitship! Because of the soft marine sediments in the area our abutments will be cast around piling. Geotech investigations indicated we would need to drive piling nearly 40 ft to get good bearing, but we got lucky and ended up with bearing strength at about 25 ft. The extra piling is cut off, the driven piling filled with cement and rebar.
Controlled density fill (basically weak concrete) is poured around the piles and used as a base for the form work for the pile caps. You can see the connection between the piling and the pile cap in the bottom of the form.
The form gets filled with concrete, the surrounding area filled with CDF, and we are ready for the next phase of our project...culvert removal and channel construction!
