Abstract

A method and apparatus for driving a pile are disclosed. The pile-driving apparatus comprises a pile, a shoe tip (106) coupled to a toe (109) of the pile, and a drill string disposed within the pile. The drill string comprises a gripping device (115) coupling the drill string to the pile and a hammer (118) deployed into the pile such that the hammer is capable of transmitting a force to the shoe tip. The method, comprises positioning a hammer in a pile such that the hammer is capable of transmitting a force to a shoe tip; positioning, in the pile, a portion of drill pipe having a gripping device to engage the pile; and deploying the pile beneath the surface of a body of water. Some embodiments are “top-driven”, others are “toe-driven”.
