Predicting impact and vibro drivability
The company Geodrive is inherent in pile driving predications. PVE was one of the first partners of Geodrive to develop special software for analyzing pile drivability, yet generally known as GeoWave. Impact and vibro drivability in a nutshell.
What installation
Among others, Geodrive offers programmes that simulate the pile driving process at different penetration levels. “In doing so, you can easily calculate what technique is most suitable with what installation”, says Geert Jonker, founder of Geodrive. “Regardless if you are dealing with sheet piles, platforms or wind farm foundations, you have to know in advance what equipment you need to do the job efficiently”.
As soon as foundation requirements are clear, based on the outcome of geotechnical survey, Geodrive joins in. Jonker: “When the specs are final and the tender has been published, contractors contact their suppliers for support. PVE ‘backs’ its recommended equipment with our driveability studies. This endorsement is highly appreciated by contractor and principal”.

Dieseko’s vibroflots successfully tested in Dubai
- vibro compaction at 45°C -
Dieseko successfully tested a series of vibroflots when densifying granular soil in Dubai at a temperature of approx. +45 °C.
In close cooperation with its client in Dubai, Dieseko conducted a number of tests in order to analyze the performance levels of its vibroflots in extreme circumstances. Vibroflots are commonly used for vibro compaction, a deep compaction technique for densifying granular soils, as well as for realizing stone columns.
