Abstract: A pile tip is disclosed for use in driving interconnected piles into the ground. The pile tip includes a load bearing base which includes a ground engaging surface which engages and penetrates the ground as the piles are driven in tandem. Pile receiving sockets project from the base in a direction opposite to the ground engaging surface for receiving ends of the piles and for protecting the received ends as the piles are driven. The base also protects the joint or connector used to interconnect the piles.
