How well do PEARSON PILES drive?
On our web site there is a PDA report from GZA directly comparing wood, composite and steel driving efficiencies and bearing capacities. Pearson Composite piles drive slightly more efficiently than steel piles of comparable dimensions in clay, sand, silt, fine till etc. due to radial expansion at the energy wave. They do not drive as well as steel through rip-rap, shale, coral, etc.
