Bay Shore Systems New TR60
The TR60 is the newest member in the TR Series. This machine was developed to provide a deeper drilling d epth with a shorter attachment height than the TR80. The TR60 has rotary torque of 66,000 ft.-lbs. (90 kN-m); drills 40 ft (12 m) deep with RLKs and 15 ft (4.5 m) overhead, or 50 ft (15 m) deep with square bars; segmented mast, 13 degrees of side tilt; and over 9 ft (2.7 m) of reach. The TR60 will also mount to a smaller excavator, 25 ton, making the transport weight 79,000 lbs. (36 kg) for the tall mast and 75,000 lbs. (34 kg) for the short mast.

New Ground Pressure Visualisation Tool
Even state-of-the-art construction machines can overturn. The innovative spirit of engineers is extensive when making designs safer for the users. Nevertheless, external factors that represent a residual risk, cannot be entirely excluded. Subsiding ground is the main reason for overturning construction machines. There is no solution on the market to date for minimizing this danger. The assistance system from Liebherr for deep foundation machines is, however, an innovation and provides a warning when the machine is situated in a critical area. That means a higher level of safety for man and machine. 

The Fight Against Climate Change —The Implant Structure, Climate-Resilient-Infrastructure
Due to global climate change, sea levels are rising and extreme weather events are becoming more common. Seventy percent of the world’s population lives in low lying coastal areas. Risks of flooding, storm surge and tidal waves in these areas are increasing day by day. Therefore, coastal infrastructures need to be more resilient to climate change to protect society from such natural disasters. Giken provides embedded piled infrastructures, called “Implant Structure” as a Climate-Resilient-Infrastructure for climate adaptation solutions.
TEI Rock Drills Makes History in South Dakota
Crazy Horse Monument, which receives about a million visitors a year, has been an on-going project since 1948.
