The press-in pile driving method utilizes hydraulic force to push piles into the ground by holding onto previously driven piles. The hydraulic force is provided by a sound-attenuated power pack. It generates very low noise and almost no vibration. It is also suited for physically constrained projects and for projects with limited access. Some urban projects require pile driving in low head room or with very small clearance from existing structures. In other cases, pile driving may have to be conducted without an access road to the piling location. This paper will discuss the solutions for those otherwise very difficult levee embankment upgrade and earth retaining projects with pressed-in sheet pile and pipe pile walls.
