Frequently Asked Questions
Why crush rather than break?
A crusher removes the head with less risk of cracking the pile below the cut-off.
Is it noisy?
Hydraulic crushing is usually quieter and causes less vibration than breaking.
Who sets the cut-off level?
The engineer and main contractor. The pile contractor follows the marked level.
Is there a minimum charge?
Usually, due to mobilisation. Grouping piles into one visit lowers the cost per pile.
Are the bars bent back afterwards?
Starter bars are exposed and left as specified for the pile cap.
