Driving piles into the ground - Heien paal in de grond - Crazy Dutch House Foundations!
Much of The Netherlands is, of course, reclaimed land. As such, Dutch engineering in this country is quite well known around the world. Since the 1700’s Holland has been built on wooden foundation piles or foundation poles, driven deep into the soft peat moss, blubber and sand.
Modern-day, two-story houses in Holland also get numerous steel or prefabricated steel and concrete reinforced foundation poles. These foundation piles are huge. Extremely long, as in 82 feet or 25 meters in length! Watching, and hearing them, get driven into the ground is quite something. You can’t miss seeing it and you certainly can’t not hear it, for miles around! Pile driving, the Dutch way!
Een groot deel van Nederland is natuurlijk droogmakerij. Als zodanig is de Nederlandse techniek in dit land vrij goed bekend over de hele wereld. Sinds de jaren 1700 of zo is Nederland gebouwd op houten funderingspalen, diep in het zachte veenmos, blubber en zand gedreven.
Moderne huizen met twee of drie verdiepingen in Nederland krijgen ook tal van stalen of geprefabriceerde stalen en betonnen versterkte funderingspalen. Deze funderingspalen zijn enorm. Extreem lang, zoals in 82 voet of 25 meter lang! Kijken en horen hoe ze de grond in worden gedreven is nogal wat. Je kunt het niet missen om het te zien en je kunt het zeker niet horen, kilometers in de omtrek! Heien op de Hollandse manier! Werk door Boer BV - boerbv.com/

The Dutch know how to engineer. This is a cool video of how they pile drive extremely long foundation poles into the reclaimed ground!

I remember when they did that, about 60 feet from my bedroom window. They start early in the morning. It was great 👍

You see around @3:00 the pile driver finally hits bedrock or at least harder, more stable ground.

Dus dit is waarom me hele grond schud om 8 uur 😐
