Vibrohammers

FOUNDATION & PILLING EQUIPMENT : PTC : VIBROHAMMERS

Working Principles
The Vibrohammer vibrates the profiles, sheet pile or casing to be driven or extracted in vertical vibrations. This in turn causes the adjacent ground to shift. The ground is loosened, which leads to the pile being driven into the ground by its own and the Vibrohammer's weight. It can be extracted by the same principle via the pulling force of the carrier (crane) in use.

Vibrohammers Types
Vibrohammers are ideal for driving and extraction of casings, sheet piles and profiles (like H-beams, I-sections, etc). The Vibrohammers are available in wide selection depending on the application, power requirement, eccentric movement, etc and are available in the following types:

Standard Vibrohammers or H-Series
HF & HFV Series or city Vibrohammers
PH and PHFV series or Hydraulic Excavator mounted Vibrohammers

HT (Tandem) - Series or Ring Vibrohammers.

Vibrohammers Selection
Vibrohammers selection is made on the basis of certain values & parameters like

Cross section of the pile
Ram profile weight
Penetration
Soil layer consistency

Porosity of soil.

Applications
These plants are ideal for a large variety of construction projects of bridges, flyovers, Ports and jetties, and embankments, diaphragm walls and constructions on sandy or clayey soils, and find applications in the following:

Driving and extraction of casings for permanent / temporary piles
Driving & extraction of sheet piles for cofferdams, embankments, etc.
Driving & extraction of profiles for support piles, structures, ground compaction,
water tight curtain wall for diaphragm walls / embankments, etc.

Vibrohammer Powerpacks
PTC offers the users powerpacks with hydraulic outputs between 80-1800 HP covering the needs of the total range of PTC Vibrohammers. These are designed & produced at PTC factory in the suburbs of Paris and use Caterpillar or Volvo diesel engines.

Clamping Heads
The clamping head is attached below the vibrohammer and firmly clamps the pile or casing to be driven or extracted. They are designed to European standards, which require a clamping force of 1.2 times the maximum centrifugal force. There are four types of clamping heads:

Agriplex for single sheet pile or profile to be clamped
Multiplex Clamp for double sheet pile applications
Duplex for casings
Quadriplex for large diameter casings
