So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

The Facts Regarding Pile Driver Sales

By Della Monroe


Many types of equipment are employed in construction. Pile driver is an example of these. This is a mechanical device used for driving poles down into soil. Usually this is needed for creating foundational support for various structures, including buildings. Pile driver sales are available through many people and companies around the world. People interested in these should look into all of the specifics before completing a purchase.

When making any big purchase, people are encouraged to do their research. They should look around to see what all is available in a given area. Consider the condition of the device, price, model and make, and similar details. It is important that the price matches the quality and condition of the driver. When buying new from a company, returns or warranties may be available. However, those who purchased used drivers my not have these options.

Traditional drivers usually have heavy weights placed between guides. This is done so that they can freely slide up and down in a straight, single line. The weight is raised, which might be done through diesel, steam, manual labor or hydraulics. Once the weight reaches the highest level, it is released so that the smashes down onto the pole and drives it into the ground.

There are many different styles used today. These include vertical travel lead system, hydraulic press-in, diesel hammer, hydraulic hammer, vibratory extractor or driver, and piling rig. Every one comes with its own uses, and disadvantages and advantages. It is suggested that pile drivers have existed, in some form, since around the 1400s.

Driving devices from the past utilized animals or manual labor in order to lift and drop the weights that were heavy. Often this was done with use of pulleys. Modern equipment employs a number of different techniques in order to raise weights and then guide the pile.

A diesel hammer is considered a modern device that has a large, two-stroke engine. The weight employed with this is a piston and the device used for connecting the top of a pole is a cylinder. The vertical travel lead system or VTL system is another thing commonly used. These were created in the 1970s and attributed to C W Birmingham who patented it. This system is best for job sites that are considered level and have no obstructions.

Hydraulic hammer is a new kind used rather than diesels or air hammers. It can drive in timber piles, steel pipe and precast concrete. These are thought to be more friendly to the environment than the older hammers that are not as efficient because of the noise and pollutants they produce. Hydraulic press-ins are speciality devices that install piles utilizing hydraulic rams in order to press poles down to the ground.

Vibratory pile hammers feature eccentric weights that counter rotate and are powered by hydraulic motors. These are designed so that horizontal vibrations are cancelled out and vertical ones are transferred into the pile. A piling rig is the name for a construction machine used for piling when it comes to foundation engineering. It is mostly applied for drilling different types of clay and soil. Often this is necessary for use in diaphragm walls, cast-in-place piles, foundation reinforcement, as well as other foundation work.
