A clamp system for allowing a pile driving/pulling system to be attached to a
caisson
to be driven into or extracted from the earth. The clamp system comprises a structural
member, first and second clamp systems, first and second locking systems, and a
clamp displacement system. The clamp displacement assembly is operatively connected
between the structural member and the first and second clamp assembly. When the
first and second clamp systems are disengaged from the pile and the first and second
locking systems are disengaged from the structural member, the clamp displacement
system may be operated to obtain a desired clamp distance between the first and
second clamp assemblies.
