The soil is actually built up under the ground surface and the deeper the pile, it’s the more stable structure.

Also known as a point-bearing pile. （2）friction pile： A load-bearing pile that receives its principal vertical support from skin friction between the surface of the buried pile and the surrounding soil. soft soil layer hard soil layer friction pile end-bearing pile According to material (1) wood pile (2) Concrete pile (3) Reinforced concrete pile (4) Prestressed concrete piles (5) Steel pile ● According to force condition： （1） Precast piles （2） bored pile Bored pile Bored pile is another type of reinforced concrete pile which is used to support high building which has heavy vertical load. Bored pile is a cast-in-place concrete pile where the bored piles have to be cast on construction site. Bored piling is popular to be used in construction as a foundation especially for bridge work and tall building as well. Bored piling work has to be done by specialist bored piling contractor, normal piling contractor can’t be done without experien
