A driven pile is a pile that is installed in the ground by driving it into the soil using a pile driver. On the other hand, a bored pile is created by drilling a hole in the ground and then filling it with concrete or other materials. The main difference between the two is the method of installation. Driven piles are typically used in dense or firm soils where they can be easily driven in using heavy equipment, while bored piles are often used in sites with softer or more unstable soils that require a more careful and controlled installation process.
