Working Together with The Earth
The ultimate environmentally friendly principle of piling is to utilize the Earth itself as the base of reaction force to hydraulically jack a pile silently and without vibration into the ground. The available force for pressing-in is determined by the amount of reaction force. Therefore the Silent Piler relies on the greatest reaction force provided by the Earth to achieve the highest performance. The mechanism of the press-in principle and the reason why it is superior to all other piling methods are reviewed from five different aspects. Please click the boxes below.

Since 1994, a research collaboration between Giken Seisakusho Co., Ltd. and Cambridge University Geotechnical Engineering Group has been undertaken to produce the world's first geotechnical research into the Press-in Method. This collaboration has involved a combination of field tests employing full-scale Silent Pilers and laboratory tests utilizing specialized equipment with the aim of explaining the geotechnics of the Press-in Method. A part of the result of the research has been released at international conferences held in U.S.A., Asia and Europe.
