- If the pre-cast driven pile is installed in the hard soil, it tends to set damage due to driving stresses and at the top due to lack of strength or lack of proper equipments.
- Bored piles require proper washing of the base of the pile. It depends upon the availability of proper equipment, workmen and experienced contractors.
- Generally, time taken for installation of driven pile (both cast-in-place and pre-case) is faster than bored pile.
- If has been found to be difficult to pull out the casing after concreting while using driven cast-in-place pile in pure sand deposits.
- Dumping of concrete from large height in cast-in-place pile particularly in driven piles cause segregation of concrete. A special care is needed to avoid them.
- The ground surface should be made such that the equipment should be able to move freely. After the piling, driven piles remain projected above the ground level. This may cause inconvenience in the movement of equipment backwards.
- The bituminous coatings on the surface of pre-cast piles reduce the negative skin friction.
