Piles are used for permanent anchors or as an integral part of a structural foundation in uncertain soil conditions. Correctly designed and installed piles are considerably more cost effective than rectifying a failed surface foundation, or recovering a stray helium balloon or floating vessel.
Piling calculates the installation and operational parameters and limitations of tubular (hollow) steel piles driven into the soil, either on land or into the seabed.
The piling calculator estimates the number of impacts (hits) required to achieve the desired depth, along with the incremental forces and the expected penetration with each hit. The piling calculator also calculates the design capacity of the installed pile for horizontal and vertical loads.
The hammer impact energy calculations take into account the installation environment e.g. if submerged in water for offshore seabed applications.
