PILE JETTING

The state-of-the-art of pile jetting is reviewed. In general, jetting is a very effective time-saving method of pile driving. It can be effectively utilized for the driving of both vertical and batter piles. It is almost indispensible for the driving of wide flange piles, T-shaped sheet piles, or similar types of piling. The method requires very simple equipment, which typically includes a centrifugal pump, jet pumps, flexible pressure hoses, and a jet pipe handling winch. The flow rate and head required for the successful pile jetting primarily depend on foundation soil conditions and the type of pile.
