Abstract

A method for installing driven cast-in-situ supports of pipes, power transmission towers, and in the mounting of buildings and structures on permafrost soils excludes the ingress of slurry and groundwater into the hole when installing driven cast-in-situ piles in permafrost soils in summer having a thawed seasonal freezing and thawing layer while avoiding the impact of frost heaving forces of soil from seasonal freezing conditions. The method includes driving a casing pipe at a depth of seasonal freezing and thawing of soil, drilling a pilot hole at a depth of not less than the depth of seasonal freezing and thawing of the soil, pouring hardening material in the amount required to fill in the space between the pilot hole walls and the pile from the bottom of the pilot hole to the bottom of seasonal freezing and thawing soil layer, installation of the pile in the pilot hole and poured mortar, and filling the remaining space between the pile and the casing pipe with non-frost heaving loose inert material.
