A steel sheet pile being hydraulically pressed. Hydraulic press-in equipment installs piles using hydraulic rams to press piles into the ground. This system is preferred where vibration is a concern. There are press attachments that can adapt to conventional pile driving rigs to press 2 pairs of sheet piles simultaneously.
Movax equipment utilize the excavator’s unaltered standard auxiliary hydraulics. A single excavator can alternate between multiple different Movax attachments – this can be made even faster with a quick coupler. The range of different piles includes, but is not limited to, sheet piles, tubulars steel piles, H-beams, and timber piles.
Sheet piles are used to restrain soft soil above the bedrock in this excavation. Sheet piling is a form of driven piling using thin interlocking sheets of steel to obtain a continuous barrier in the ground. The main application of sheet piles is in retaining walls and cofferdams erected to enable permanent works to proceed. Normally, vibrating ...
This is an engineering term for describing how far to drive piles. [1] It is also used in surveying when driving metal posts and monuments that are to be used as bench marks (ie. the elevation of which will be established to a high degree of accuracy). When a very high degree of stability is required the post will be inside an oil filled outer ...
The heavier scraper types have two engines ("tandem powered"), one driving the front wheels, one driving the rear wheels, with engines up to 400 kW (536 hp). Multiple scrapers can work together in a push-pull fashion but this requires a long cut area. Smaller scrapers may be towed by a bulldozer.
The HMEE is an armoured backhoe loader designed for high speeds in order to self-deploy with military convoys. Most backhoes are limited to much lower speeds. [2] It is also capable of towing heavy loads and has good off-road mobility.
A wheeled front loader at work. This wheeled tractor is equipped with a large bucket, which can be raised or lowered by hydraulic arms.. A heavy equipment operator operates heavy equipment used in engineering and construction projects.
John Deere 135P excavator with rubber tracked treads. A crawler excavator, also known as a track-type excavator or tracked excavator, is a type of heavy construction equipment primarily used for excavation and earthmoving tasks. It is characterized by its tracked undercarriage, which provides superior mobility and traction compared to wheeled ...
