Vibrating HP Beams before Driving

August Construction installed driven HP pile for Bloise Construction in Santa Barbara for a bridge abutment. Bengal Engineering, the designer of the bridge, was delighted with the rapid progress and the clever utilization of diverse techniques, namely installing and aligning beams utilizing vibro techiniques, and then using a D-19 pile hammer for the final seating and testing of the 70 ton HP beams.
