Bottom discharge vibratory hammer equipment

Following the Hong Kong artificial island of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge and the Ashdod Port project in Israel, the third large-scale offshore reclamation bottom discharge vibratory stone column project in the world -- the Dili Bay new container terminal project in East Timor -- is about to commence.

The much-anticipated dry bottom discharge vibratory hammer once again serves as the core equipment for this construction, and the project received good news of successful test pile driving on May 4, 2019.
 

 

Construction Organization

Beijing Vibration Engineering Machinery Co., Ltd., which independently researches and produces equipment, once again organized some of the original team members who participated in the Hong Kong artificial island vibration compaction construction of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge to participate in this test pile driving project with a maximum depth of 24 meters. Located in East Timor, a maritime nation in southern Asia, its geographical location is close to the equator. Although the climate is hot and humid, our company team is seasoned and unaffected by the harsh environment. The preparation work and construction organization during the test pile driving process were orderly. From equipment installation and debugging of various major systems to on-site layout, hoisting, drilling and pile making scheme development, each step is meticulous and strives for excellence, laying a solid foundation for the ultimate success of the test pile driving.



 
Perfect Closing

From April 14 to May 4, the 20-day test pile driving was finally completed successfully. The maximum depth of the pile body reached 24.8 meters. The equipment successfully penetrated the hard stratum with the highest SPT value of 50 blows and achieved the stone column pile construction of the bottom discharge process. The total construction length was 306 meters, and the total time was 1222 minutes.
