Pile Driver Thumps in East Whiteland
The piece of heavy equipment is being used to install supports for the expansion of Route 202.
This week, East Whiteland residents and motorists heard the steady percussion of a pile driver working at the Route 202 overpass over Conestoga Road.
According to Wikipedia, a pile driver is:
a mechanical device used to drive piles into soil to provide foundation support for buildings or other structures. [...]
One traditional type of pile driver includes a heavy weight placed between guides so that it is able to freely slide up and down in a single line.
