Tasmania, Australia 2013 <strong>Bridges</strong> on driven steel piles BridgePro took delivery of a Movax SG-60V Side-Grip vibrator and an IH-25D pile hammer in January in Tasmania, Australia. BridgePro is a specialist bridge construction contractor specialising in precast modular bridges with spans between 6 and 21m. With the purchase of the piling equipment they have created a sister company called PilePro better reflecting the new business opportunities created by the vibrator and hammer. The combination of the SG-60V vibrator and IH-25D hammer was chosen after an extensive worldwide search to find the most versatile and productive piling system to complement their innovative precast bridge system. With jobs generally small in size and transport a key consideration, the relative light weight of the two attachments and suitability to operate off a moderately sized excavator made the combination the right choice. “We were impressed with the modular nature of the SG model vibrator giving us the ability to install sheet, tube, timber and h-piles all with the one machine” said Aaron Brimfield, Director of BridgePro. BridgePro director commented they have had a lot of experience with excavator mounted hammers and find the functionality, simplicity and relative lightweight nature of the IH-25D to be of significant advantage over alternatives. It seamlessly integrates with the Movax computer and provides the operator essential feedback on the impact energy being applied. For bridge and other structural foundations, the ability to drive the pile into harder layers and ‘hit’ the pile to demonstrate load capacity is essential. Once the pile is stood and vibrated to refusal, they are able to attach the impact hammer, and continue to drive the pile to the required structural capacity. “Although only newly acquired, we are excited about the possibilities the combination of the vibrator and hammer provide” Aaron Brimfield, BridgePro.
Kerala, India 2013 Sheet pile cofferdams in Periya river in Kerala Marymatha Construction company has secured a job for construction of regulator-cum-bridge on Periyar river in Indian state of Kerala. During high tide the water level in sea rises and because of this the sea water starts flowing back into river. New structure will permit control over the water flow to the river. This project is going to be helpful in solving some environmental and potable water issues and scarcity of water for agriculture in places adjacent to the bridge. Contractor has to construct a two-lane bridge of 7.50 metre each side and a regulator at a length of 180 metres across the river. The project includes three sheet pile cofferdams in stages of 60 m each for dewatering and construction. Kerala based Marymatha purchased a Movax SP-50F Side-Grip vibro for constructing the cofferdams. Sheet piles of 8 to 12 M length are driven with the Side-Grip sheet piler on JCB 210 excavator mounted on a barge to allow operation across the river. The works are likely to be completed in two years. On the cover: Renovation of bridge over Krzywe Lake Poland´s first SG-60 series Movax pile driver was delivered to Bialystok based company called Hydrobud. It has been first put into work at bridge renovation site. Renovation of the bridge over Krzywe Lake in Suwalki demanded 16 number of tubular steel piles with end caps driven 24 metres into the lake bed. The piles were reinforced with concrete to create solid and long lasting base for the renewed bridge. Company HYDROBUD is mostly building bridges and hydroengineering constructions. www.hydrobud.bialystok.pl Suwalki, Poland 2012
