LIEBHERR Uses Auger Cleaner to Reduce Noise at Military Hospital
Liebherr LB45 is working on a multimillion dollar military hospital expansion project at a European operating and functional building. The new facility is being built within the existing hospital area. Therefore, the site and equipment requirement are very noise sensitive. The auger cleaner makes it possible to empty the auger almost noiselessly and semi-automatically while Kelly is drilling. This is an enormous advantage, especially in cohesive soils. In addition, the hydraulic motors, the rotary drive and the Kelly bar are spared, thus significantly increasing the lifetime. The Liebherr LB45 with its new auger cleaner allows a silent operation so patients can recover and the contractor can fulfill the contract.
Fortify the Backbone of a Very Good Slurry
Mixed before Big-Foot, this dry product is an additive that Matrix uses. The product is called Fortify and its benefit is the cross-linking bridge created within the blend of the slurry when mixed with Big-Foot polymer slurry. Fortify builds an inner web that seals the sidewall of the drilled hole. Fortify is packaged in 25-lb pails.
