How load capacity works in SCD driven piling and why it is understood differently to bored piles

Load capacity in driven piling is not calculated or verified in exactly the same way as it is for bored piles, and understanding that difference is useful context for anyone involved in commissioning or managing SCD driven piling works. The displacement installation process, the in-process driving resistance data, and the interaction between the steel casing and the surrounding soil all influence how capacity is assessed, how it is confirmed during installation, and how it is verified afterwards. Getting a clear picture of how load capacity works in driven piling helps project teams have more informed conversations with their structural engineer and piling contractor from the outset.
