Concrete Batter Pile Drive

Illustrates how a concrete pile is installed into a canal next to a seawall to prevent movement in the seawall and cap, and allow for a dock to be installed. Notice how the pile is hit with a hammer repeatedly until refusal... Engineers use the number of hits vs the travel of the pile (or blow count) per foot to determine the capacity the pile can hold
