From the commencement of the Thames Embankment in 1862, where the first pile was driven with unknown hands, to the making of the cofferdam during The Flood in the Fens, pile drivers have been essential tools in shaping our landscape. The Sonnette a pilotis, or pile-driver, as depicted in Le Vocabulaire Illustre, showcases the elegance and power of this engineering marvel. The Patent American steam pile-driving engine from 1844 revolutionized the construction industry, while the perspective view of the engine used for driving the piles of Westminster Bridge in London highlights its intricate design. Today, a man wielding a pile driver on a construction site continues the legacy of these historical innovations, driving home the importance of this versatile tool in modern infrastructure development.
