At both those other buildings the supportive piles weren't driven but cast in place--that is, they drill a hole, insert some pre-formed rebar framework and pour concrete into the hole. I thought they'd do that here too.
This is just work to build the soil support wall for the eventual hole. Nothing is structural yet.
