A micropile connection for supporting a vertical pile for a support system is disclosed herein. The micropile connection includes a base and two micropile sleeves attached thereto. The two micropile sleeves are configured to direct micropiles from opposing sides of the base across the base, such that the two micropiles cross through a vertical plane intersecting the base and between lateral edges of the base. The micropile connection is compact and easily attached to the pile, thereby resulting in mounting micropiles to the pile for additional support. Use of the micropile connection may decrease the time and expense associated with rectifying refusals.

The invention relates to an apparatus for noise attenuation in an impact pile driving device wherein the apparatus comprises a pile guide being attachable to the lower end of a hammer of an impact pile driving device. The apparatus according to the invention comprises compressing arrangement in connection with the pile guide having at least one compressing element and mechanical, hydraulic or pneumatic compressing means for compressing a pile fitted in to the pile guide transversally by means the at least one compressing element. The invention relates also an impact pile driving device and a method for noise attenuation in an impact pile driving device.

A bi-directional swing pile adapter includes a first ring; a first support arm; a second support arm; a first swivel connector to operatively connect the first ring to the first support arm in a swivel manner; a second swivel connector to operatively connect the first ring to the second support arm in a swivel manner; a pile coupling member to enable coupling to a pile; a third swivel connector to operatively connect the first ring to the pile coupling member in a swivel manner; and a fourth swivel connector to operatively connect the first ring to the pile coupling member in a swivel manner.

An underground base configured for supporting an above-ground static structure that has a pair of plates each having a distal end, a proximal end, and a body portion between the distal end and the proximal end. The pair of plates are connected to each other to define a box section and a pair of flanges extending outwardly from opposing vertices of the box section. The base further has a plurality of brackets each connected to one of the plates at the proximal end, a base plate connected to the plurality of brackets, and an adjustment plate connected to the base plate via one or more adjustment fasteners. The adjustment plate is movable relative to the base plate via the one or more adjustment fasteners to adjust an orientation of the adjustment plate relative to the base plate.

The present disclosure regards a pile for a pile wall, said pile extending longitudinally between a first and a second end and comprising at least one perimeter profile in a cross section being essentially perpendicular to the longitudinal extension of said pile, said perimeter profile enclosing an uninterrupted area in said cross section, wherein at least one section of the perimeter profile extends outwardly forming a first male connection portion, and the uninterrupted area extends into the first male connection portion, thereby forming a load bearing portion of the pile. Furthermore, the present disclosure also regards a connection arrangement and a manufacturing method.

A pile connection comprises at least one fixture having a collar portion, a plurality of micropile sleeves, a plurality of gusset members extending between the collar portion and the micropile sleeves, and at least one connecting member that couples adjacent gusset members and that is spaced apart from the collar portion. A recess bounded by a wall of the collar portion is configured to contact a portion of a vertical pile. One or more fasteners may be used to press the wall against the vertical pile, with certain embodiments employing two complementary fixtures that may be coupled to one another (e.g., using the fasteners) along opposing sides of the vertical pile. Each micropile sleeve is configured to receive a micropile that may be driven through the sleeve into the ground at a position spaced apart from the vertical pile.

Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to a pumping unit base and methods for operating with the pumping unit base. The pumping unit base may include a plurality of driven piles installed in the ground, and a metal platform fixedly attached to the plurality of driven piles, wherein the metal platform is positioned above the ground. The metal platform may be removed from the driven piles and reinstalled to the driven piles.

A ground mounting assembly includes one or a plurality of posts, each attached to at least one stabilizing plate or scoop pyramid. The post may be driven into the ground and then lifted to deploy plates into a locking mechanism, or driven into the ground by a pile driver with plate held in place, released, and driven further and deployed into a locking mechanism, or driven into the ground and double pounded inside the post to drive reinforcing plate into slotted winglets, or driven, double pounded and rotated to extend the reinforcing plates horizontally from the pole or pile. The post also can used as a mooring in harbors, lakes, or at sea. A system based on a double pounder pile driven mono pole, optionally extendable in length, is also described.

A multi-function retaining structure for excavation and drainage operations during construction process and a method for excavation and implementation of a multi-function retaining structure at a target location. The multi-function retaining structure includes a first I-beam, a second I-beam, a third I-beam, a first inclined stiffener plate, and a second inclined stiffener plate. The method includes positioning the multi-function retaining structure above the target location, driving the multi-function retaining structure into the target location by pushing the bottom edge of the third web into the target location, softening soils in the target location by jetting water to the soils utilizing a first water jet tube and a second water jet tube, extracting the first water jet tube and the second water jet tube from the rectangular chamber, and draining water from the rectangular chamber by utilizing a water drainage pump and through a drainage tube.
