The present invention relates a connection adapter providing the connection of jaws (C) of every kind with vibro hammers (V) of every strength, which are used for driving and extracting of steel formed materials, profiles and steel pipes and further the connection adapter has at least one pressure member (4), which enables that the upper connection piece (2) and the lower connection piece (3) are interlocked by applying a force, if the interlocking of the upper connection piece (2) and the lower connection piece (3) is preferred.

A pile includes a first pile section having a first end that engages a supporting medium and an opposing second end. A first end of a second pile section is engageable with the second end of the first pile section, each of the first and second pile sections having mating end fittings that create an interlocking fit. A sleeve overlays the first and second engaged ends of the first and second pile sections. At least one through hole aligned with at least one corresponding through hole of the first pile section is sized for receiving a fastener for securing the sleeve to the first pile section. In another version, the ends of the pile section are engaged in contact while the overlaying sleeve has a pair of interlocking sleeve or coupler portions that are configured to provide torsional resistance. Additional pile sections can be sequentially attached to the second pile section.

The invention is directed to a foundation pile (1) comprising a tubular housing (2) having an upper end (3) and an open lower end (4) and wherein at the upper end or near or at the open lower end (4) vibration means are present and wherein at the open lower end means (6) to discharge a fluid into the interior space (20) of the tubular housing and means (7) to discharge a fluid from the lower end (4) of the tubular housing (2) in a direction which has a downward directional component. The means (6) to discharge a fluid into the interior space (20) of the tubular housing have can fluidise the soil present in this interior space.

Dampening assemblies for crane systems and the like. In some embodiments, the assembly may comprise an upper connecting member and a lower connecting member, along with a housing and an inner assembly. One or more elastomer shock absorbing members may be connected between the inner assembly and the housing. In operation, weight on the dampening assembly may result in movement of the housing with respect to the inner assembly, which movement results in a corresponding shearing of the one or more shock absorbing members, thereby reducing vibration of a weight coupled with the dampening assembly.

A pipe assembly may have one or more pipe segments that are coupled together or coupled to a drive socket by a coupler. The bottom-most segment may have a body with a central axis, an exterior surface an upper end connectable to the pile assembly, a digging end, the digging end facilitating the creation of a borehole, and ports through which fluid is emittable. The bottom-most segment is designed to receive fluid introduced through the pipe assembly so that the fluid can facilitate the creation of a borehole and may be emitted through the ports during the driving of the pipe assembly into soil.

Provided herein are methods, devices and systems comprising an anchor post that has a shaft, at least one stabilising element attached to the anchor post configured to resist movement of the anchor post, and at least one alignment element.
