What is Conventional Tripod Piling?
Conventional tripod piling is a traditional method used for deep foundation construction. It involves a tripod frame with a pulley system to lift and drop a hammer, driving the pile into the ground. This method is widely used for areas with limited access or where heavy machinery cannot be used.
At SPF Infra Projects, we provide expert tripod piling services for strong and stable foundations in various projects.

How Does Conventional Tripod Piling Work?
The process of tripod piling involves several steps:
1. Setting Up the Tripod
- A three-legged tripod frame is erected at the pile location.
- A winch and pulley system is attached to lift the hammer.
2. Pile Positioning
- The pile (concrete or steel) is placed in the correct location.
- Engineers ensure proper alignment for accurate driving.
3. Pile Driving
- A drop hammer is lifted using the winch and pulley.
- The hammer is released to strike the pile, forcing it into the ground.
- This process is repeated until the pile reaches the required depth.
4. Load Testing & Inspection
- After installation, the pile is tested for strength and stability.
- Engineers check for alignment and proper load-bearing capacity.
