In the Press-in Method, prefabricated piles are installed into the ground without noise and vibration using static loading generated from hydraulic rams. The reaction force is derived from extraction resistance of previously driven piles, allowing the invention of a small press-in machine, so called the “Silent Piler” to generate greater force by integrating with the ground. Such compact machine can work under physically restricted working conditions. The Press-in Method is originated in Japan and over the years, it has been disseminated widely across the world through successful applications. The Press-in Method has also been used in difficult site conditions in the Indonesia and Southeast Asian region.
