Piling is an extremely prominent practice in the construction world today, but have you ever wondered, when did it all start? In this article today, we are going to explore the history of piling and how it has advanced over time. Without further ado, let’s get straight into it.
We are all familiar with modern-day piling. With the help of advanced state-of-the-art equipment, piling has never been easier to do for trained technicians. But it was not always that way. Did you know that piling dates back to ancient times, approximately the 4th century BC to be exact? The Romans were among the first to use piles. Of course, there were no fancy materials or equipment, it was just wood and a makeshift hammer. Over time, drastic advancements have been made to piling. From improved equipment and materials, every aspect of piling has massively improved over time. These developments have led to an array of different piling types to choose from. These include:
- Concrete piles
- Screw piles
- Steel piles
