Abstract
A sonic pile driving adapter is configured to couple a drill head to a member to be pile driven. The adapter includes an upper attachment portion for selectively attaching to the drill head and a lower mounting portion. The lower mounting portion has first and second side plates configured to be inserted into the member. The first and second side plates include a first plurality of through holes corresponding to a second plurality of through holes provided on the member. The adapter also includes a plurality of brackets with a third plurality of through holes. A plurality of fasteners extends through the first, second and third pluralities of through holes, thereby coupling the sonic pile driving adapter and the drill head to the member. The adapter and method of use allow for efficient transfer of oscillating energy to the member and more effective pile driving.
