Pile Driving Rigs and Impact Hammers
Pile driving hammers, also known as hydraulic impact hammers are designed to drive piles by means of a drop weight that falls on the pile head. In most cases the drop weight is internally accelerated to increase the impact force on the pile head. Pile driving hammers are used for driving precast concrete piles, steel casing piles and steel sheet piles. The hydraulic impact hammers are often used in combination with a piling rig where a leader guides the impact hammer and pile with high accuracy . Or the impact hammer can be used in a free suspended configuration where the hammer is lifted and placed on top of the piles by means of a crawler crane.
Distributor of Dawson Construction plant
Foundiz is distributor of Dawson Construction Plant and offers the complete Dawson impact hammer range. The impact hammers from Dawson are especially designed to drive steel casing piles and steel sheet piles. In soft soils driving casing piles and sheet piles can be done with a vibratory hammer. However if dense soils are reached the penetration speed of vibratory hammers can slow down or vibrating isn’t even possible anymore. In those case pile driving impact hammers are the right solution. In cases where you are not sure about the best piling method Foundiz can support. By means of a pile drive-ability assessement Foundiz can determine the most efficient piece of equipment for the job.
Light and medium impact hammers
The range of impact hammers Foundiz sells varies from hammers for light and medium heavy works up to heavy offshore projects. The Dawson impact hammers are designed with field experience which makes them easy in use, reliable and also suitable to drive piles under water. The hammers are available with all sorts of accessories like helmets, sleeves and sheet pile legs. Therefore it is possible to drive almost every type and shape of steel casing, sheet pile and H-beam.
