Abstract

Apparatus (8) for positioning piles relative to one another in a substrate (14), comprising a template (10) and a pile guide (12) releasably attachable to the template (10) in any one of at least a first location (20) and a second location (22) when guiding a pile into the substrate. The first and second locations (22, 24) are spaced apart to enable the pile guide (12) to be releasably attached to the template (10) in different positions relative thereto. The template (10) includes apertures (38) which define part of an integral guide for a pin pile for pinning the template (10) to the substrate (14).

Abstract

A pile guide for supporting a pile as it is driven into a substrate, comprises: a base frame having a planar substrate-engaging surface; and a pile guide member mounted on the base frame, the pile guide member being configured to guide a pile in a predetermined direction therethrough as it is driven into a substrate. The pile guide member is pivotally mounted on the base frame, with pivotal movement of the pile guide member varying the predetermined direction relative to the planar substrate- engaging surface of the base frame.
