Giken Limited - Giken Engineering Group

In January 2016, GIKEN celebrated its 50th anniversary. GIKEN was founded to extinguish construction pollution recognised as a major source of environmental contamination at that time. In 1975, GIKEN released the press-in machine, “Silent Piler”, first in the world. Since then GIKEN has consistently been developing machines and construction solutions based on the superiority of the “Press-in Principle,” having been accumulating impressive results worldwide.

Conventionally prefabricated piles have been pounded or vibrated into the ground. Such methods inevitably generate excessive noise and vibration because of their reliance on percussive or vibratory energy. Gikn developed the world's first Silent Piler press-in machine to make the press-in principle practicable in the field. Since the piles are pressed-in, the Silent Piler does not cause any damage to the environment inclding neighbouring structures and local residents through noise and vibration.
