Piling rigs are machines used for construction that are meant for piling in or making piles in foundation engineering. (They help provide support for the foundation of buildings and other large structures). Piling is, therefore, the process of making or drilling poles
Piling rigs are mainly used to drill in silty clay, sandy soil, clay, etc.
In addition, it is vastly used in diaphragm walls, foundation projects, foundation reinforcement, and other cast-in-place piles. A piling rig has a rated engine power of the range 108 – 450kW, torque output of the range 60 – 400kN.m, with maximum pile diameter of between 1.5 – 4m, and a maximum of 60 – 90m pile depth.
These features make it possible to meet the construction requirements of the varies foundation engineering projects.
The various piling rigs generally use telescopic drill pipe, depth indicator, automated mast lift – box type, auto vertical adjustor, hydraulic crawler chassis, and even in load sensor, hydraulic pilot control, thereby making it easy to control.
The rig can also be applied in piling construction in wet soil – rotary bucket, rock – core drill, and dry – short screw by using a drilling tool that can also be equipped with the long screw drill, which is powered by the diesel engine excavator.
