RAM of CNY has the ability to drive several types of piling material: steel pilings for the support of docks and shoreline decks, and vinyl and sheet piling for seawalls or piers. We use an A.P.E. vibratory hammer for installations where the lake or riverbed material is clay or gravel.

However, when the lake or riverbed is stony or bedrock, we also have the ability to core drill into the solid rock, set pilings, and grout them into place.
