Construction of trestle birdges with RF-technology

The construction section we describe today is in the Jiangnan Water Town, part of Huzhou City in Zhejiang Province. The railway crisscrosses many rivers and lakes. The trestle bridge uses 630mm diameter steel pipe piles with a length of 24 meters. In order to better protect the local ecological environment, the contractor rented the ICE 28RF resonance-free Vibratory Hammer from Shanghai ICE Construction Equipment Trading Company. The Vibratory Hammer has an exciting force of 160 tons, no resonance during start-up and shutdown, and a vibration frequency of up to 2300RPM. It can be operated by mobile crane, which is very flexible and convenient.

The speed of Vibratory Hammer piling in trestle construction is very fast, and it usually takes only a few minutes to complete the piling. The most time-consuming process is the welding of steel pile sections. For this reason, the construction party completes the welding of the pile sections in advance, and then drives the full-length pile in one go. During pile handling when the hammer idles, the automatic start-stop device kicks-in. This minimizes the fuel consumption during the whole construction process, which is economical and environmentally friendly. The service life of the equipment will be extended accordingly, and the value of the investment is preserved. ICE equipment operation cost is economical, and the equipment offers a high R.O.I. over the full 20-year lifetime. The operation and daily maintenance of the ICE series hydraulic vibrating hammer is simple and intuitive. The set is operated by wireless remote operation, and the operating radius can reach about 100 meters.

In addition to the driving of steel pipe piles, the ICE hydraulic Vibratory Hammers have outstanding performance in the extraction of steel pipe piles, including the removal of trestle bridges. Many difficult steel pipe piles jobs at home and abroad are extracted successfully by ICE equipment. Whether due to difficult soil conditions or due to deformations to the pile, ICE equipment does not let you down!
