What Is The Difference between Rotary Drilling Machine Piling And Manual Digging Pile

Piling is a very important link in the construction of building foundation. As two common ways, rotary drilling rig driving pile and manual digging pile have their own distinctive characteristics. Here, we compare the differences in several dimensions.

1. Construction efficiency: rotary drilling rig pile driving relies on mechanical power, rapid rotary drilling, can complete a large number of pile holes in a short time. Manual digging is completely dependent on manual digging, the progress is slow, and the efficiency is far lower than that of rotary drilling rig.

2. Labor intensity: The operation of rotary drilling rig, machine control equipment mainly through the console, the labor intensity is relatively small. When digging piles manually, workers need to continue to carry out heavy digging, lifting and other work in a narrow space, and the labor intensity is very great.

3. Construction safety: Rotary drilling rig is operated on the ground, away from the pile hole, reducing the risk of workers working underground, and the safety factor is high. There are many safety hazards such as cave-in, poisoning, suffocation, etc. in manual digging pile, which is a great threat to workers' life safety.

4. Pile hole quality: With accurate positioning and advanced drilling technology, rotary drilling rig can ensure the verticality and aperture accuracy of pile holes, and good hole quality. The stability of pile hole quality is slightly poor due to the influence of workers' technical level and physical strength.

5. Applicable environment: Rotary drilling rig is suitable for a variety of geological conditions, especially complex strata, such as rock layer, sand layer, etc. In the area of complex geological conditions or high groundwater level, the construction is difficult and even impossible.

6. Cost input: rotary drilling rig early equipment procurement cost is high, but the construction efficiency is high, the comprehensive cost may be low. Although the equipment investment is small, the labor cost is high, the construction period is long, and the overall cost is not necessarily advantageous.

To sum up, there are significant differences in construction efficiency, labor intensity and safety between rotary drilling rig and manual digging. In the actual project, it is necessary to choose the piling method reasonably according to the project characteristics, geological conditions, cost budget and other factors to ensure the smooth progress of the project.
