Advantages of Press-in Method

The press-in principle has advantages, considering the two factors, environmental impact and structural quality, and what is more, the Press-in Method which embodies the press-in principle has many practical strong points developed from the advantages of the principle. The most appropriate method is to be selected out of construction method variations according to the requirements and conditions of projects and each method has its own particular features. The advantages of the basic press-in techniques are stated below following the Five Construction Principles.

The Principles	Features	Description
Environmental Protection	Silent & Vibration-free Piling	Due to hydraulic pile jacking the Press-in Method is ultra low in noise output and vibration-free.
	Minimum Work Space	The compact and lightweight Silent Piler limits work space to just the area ultimately required and it minimizes the effects on the environment.
	Free of Environmental Disruption	Physical disruption such as ground settlement, soil disturbance and damaging neighboring structures is avoided protecting both public and private assets.
	Nuisance-free	The Press-in Method allows local inhabitants to carry out their daily lives without being subjected to noise and vibration.
Safety	High Quality Structural Materials	Use of prefabricated piles applying industrial standards guarantees construction of strong, stable and long lasting structural walls.
	Machine Stability	The Silent Piler is absolutely stable because it grips fully installed anchor piles, normally close to ground level without danger of the machine overturning.
	Pile Stability	The pile being pressed-in is fully encompassed and hydraulically grasped by the Chuck of the Silent Piler just above the specified height of the pile top.
	Radio Controlled Operation	Full radio control operation ensures safety for both the operator and neighboring structures and it allows complicated manoeuvering of the Silent Piler with ease.
Speed	Simple Procedure	The Silent Piler does not need piling templates, work platforms or temporary works and it carries out the press-in operation accompanied by just one pile pitching crane.
	Self-moving	Prior to completion of every pile, the Silent Piler raises its main body and travels forward to the next position without crane support.
	No Time Restriction	There is no need to restrict working times with the silent and vibration-free Press-in Method even in environmentally sensitive night works.
	Multiple Units Mobilization	Simultaneous use of multiple Silent Piler enables urgent completion of emergency restoration works caused by natural disasters.
Economy	Prefabricated Structural Materials	The appropriate use of prefabricated piles attains overall cost savings through a shortening of the work duration and a reduction of labour.
	Free of temporary works	The whole press-in procedure is carried out from the top of the fully installed piles and the need for expensive and troublesome temporary works is eliminated.
	Labor-saving Operation	The simple press-in procedure requires the minimum number of personnel and a relatively lightweight pile pitching crane owing to the Self-moving.
	Disturbance-free	During construction work the Press-in Method maintains the functional needs of the city such as existing traffic, infrastructures and daily business activities.
Aesthetics	Work Site Cleanliness	The simple and systematic operation of the Press-in Method makes the site much cleaner, more efficient and more professional than conventional methods.
	Accurate Pile Control	Piles are accurately controlled as to height and direction enabling curves, corners, cofferdams and other complicated configurations to be constructed with ease.
	High Quality Finishes	The hydraulically pressed-in piles achieve a high quality permanent structural wall and the finished project is aesthetically acceptable.
	Aesthetically Decorated Materials	Newly designed structural materials applyied with an anti-corrosive coating laminated with photographic film provide further aesthetic finishes.
