Piledriving is sometimes considered a trade that relies on brute force. While that is often true, some projects require great precision as well. This pedestrian bridge foundation in Kalama, WA is one of those projects. 24" diameter pipe piles driven to depths of up to 150', with a combination of plumb and battered piles - All driven on from a small staging area sandwiched between high-voltage powerlines and a sloping shoreline, all adjacent to highly active rail lines. Thanks to careful project planning by the project team, we have been able to achieve success!
