Novel pile driving by explosive enlarged concrete piles
A Swiss Siegwart company method uses an iron tube with a wooden interior pile and an explosive detonator to form a hollow enlarged base in concrete piles. Detonation sinks concrete to form a strong base, then tube is withdrawn. Method claims greater lateral stability and economy, with explosive shaping controlled by cartridge strength. Engineering News notes the technique can create a spherical hollow four feet across and adapts by ground quality.
