Michigan pile driver union

Pile drivers take control of massive machines like piling rigs, diesel hammers, hydraulic impact hammers, and modified excavators to install steel, concrete, and wood pilings during the early stages of construction.

Skill, knowledge, and accuracy are crucial because these pilings hold back the earth during excavation; stabilize ground conditions for bridges, tunnels, and docks; and ensure the safety of everyone on the job site.

Some pile drivers are also commercial divers who tackle underwater welding and construction projects. Pile drivers rely on careful planning and a solid understanding of load-carrying capacities, gauging hammer performance, and how to accommodate for lateral, compression, or tension loads. Completion hours may vary depending on the region you belong to. Pile driver apprentices will be evaluated through demonstrations of skill and technique, and standard knowledge exams.
