Berminghammer's New Line of Reverse Circulation Drills
Specifically designed for Reverse Circulation (RC), Berminghammer has drawn from its years of expertise in the foundation drilling industry to introduce a new line of RC drills for drilling hard rock. These drills accompany Berminghammer’s extensive line of vertical travel leads and can be paired with down-the-hole-hammers, conventional and cluster drill bits. The BRC35 is the smallest of the bunch but still case advances up to 24” diameter. The BRC100 has been designed to pair with Berminghammer’s new ‘H’ leads and can drill up to 48”. The BRC200 is the 200,000 ft lb. goliath of rock drilling starting with 48” diameter and moving on up!

Take Your Augercast Game to the Max
What do many of today’s stadiums and arenas have in common? They stand on ACIP Piles installed using Specrete’s Water Retentive Grout Fluidifiers. Stadiums and arenas demand substantial pile design to support their massive structures. Quick, uninterrupted installation is a necessity to keep high profile projects on schedule. Soil types vary across the country and each site presents a different set of challenges. Intrusion-Aid MAX makes it possible to install deeper and wider piles, with full depth reinforcing cages, without interruption and in any soil type.
