A pile formation system 10 has an elongate pile former 12 can be driven into the ground. A force transfer member 16 is releasably attachable part way along the length of the pile former, preferably in any one of various positions. The pile former may have engagement formations 22 positioned along its length. A pile driver 14 is arranged to impart a driving force to the forcer transfer member and thus the pile former without having to impact on the top end of the pile former, reducing the need for large support structures or equipment. In a second aspect, a force transfer member is provided that has a releasable latch. In a third aspect, a pile driver is provided with an inertial mass that is shaped to accommodate a pile former therein. |
