    Driving piles, as opposed to drilling shafts, is advantageous because the soil displaced by driving the piles compresses the surrounding soil, causing greater friction against the sides of the piles, thus increasing their load-bearing capacity.

Larger coal stockpiles have a reduced rate of heat loss, leading to a higher risk ...
