Pile Cushion Pile cushions are provided to protect the pile during driving and to prevent the damage that would occur with steel hitting a concrete pile without cushioning. Pile cushion also helps to reduce tensile forces that act on the pile as it is driven. Available in many different shapes, sizes and thicknesses to accommodate proper hammer size and soil conditions. Typically made of plywood or hardwood planks, the pile cushion will sit between the pile and the drive cap, generally inside of the drive cap cavity.
