Automated systems and methods for drilling while driving foundation components are provided. In some cases, based on detected conditions, it may be desirable for an automated controller to change the bore diameter of a drill bit during a drilling and driving operation. The need for this may be determined based on monitoring the output of one or more sensors related to one or more corresponding performance metrics of the drilling and driving operation.

A foundation system for modular hydropower systems and methods for constructing same. The foundation system is compatible with soils, particularly soils that are relatively loose or compressible, and thereby advantageous for the widespread implementation of low head modular hydropower systems. The foundation system includes pipe piles; sheet piles configured to be arranged transverse to the pipe piles; pile caps configured to be seated on top of the plurality of pipe piles; and a beam base slab configured to be securely positioned on top of the pile caps. A kit for the foundation system is also disclosed.
